The Denver Broncos beat the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night, but you wouldn’t know it by Ryan Fitzpatrick’s postgame comments.Denver’s 17-14 overtime win over the defending Super Bowl champions improved them to 4-2, despite offensive questions.Kris Abrams-Draine intercepted Sam Darnold’s pass to secure the overtime victoryGettyThe Broncos benched first-year play-caller Davis Webb after a slow offensive start to the season, but things haven’t improved since Payton took over.Two rushing touchdowns in the first half and the overtime field goal from Will Lutz were the only offense produced for the Broncos.It’s safe to say that Fitzpatrick was left unimpressed by quarterback Bo Nix‘s performance in the win where the Broncos were outgained 358 yards to 168.Ryan Fitzpatrick slams Nix’s TNF performance“I’m glad (the Broncos) scored the two touchdowns in the first half, but they were in four-minute mode when the second half started,” Fitzpatrick said. “It was really frustrating to watch. And part of it for me is Bo Nix is not playing competitively. It’s almost disrespectful to the quarterback position how he’s playing football right now.”Fitzpatrick was asked by Charissa Thompson to expand on his sentiment regarding the third-year quarterback, who is already facing questions over his future.“First of all, the guy doesn’t want to throw the ball; that’s fine,” Fitzpatrick continued. “He’s throwing to the flats; he’s throwing behind. But he has no trust from his coach. (Sean Payton) calls a screen play on third-and-8. Just run up and let the clock keep going. “What does he do? He throws it away. Seattle gets the ball; they have a timeout. “And then in overtime, he’s got two chances to be competitive, the last one being a designed run for him to run, make somebody miss and get a first down for your football team.Nix threw for under 150 yards for the second consecutive gameGettyFitzpatrick called Nix’s performance ‘almost disrespectful to the quarterback position’GettyView Tweet: https://x.com/hashtag/TNFonPrime?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw“Now, they’re in the locker room right now, they’re excited, they won; he’s not playing competitive football right now.“He’s not competing right now, and that’s something he’s hung his hat on for the last two years. I don’t know if he’s still injured or what’s going on, but it’s not good enough. It’s effort.”Nix’s conservative approach is workingDespite Fitzpatrick’s complaints, Nix has clearly found a working formula.“Bo Nix has the best career record in NFL history in games with 6.0 yds/att or less (13-3, .813 win pct),” CBS Sports researcher Doug Clawson posted after the game.“Bo Nix has the best career record in NFL history in games with under 5.0 yds/att (7-2, .778 win pct).“All other active QBs have a .219 win pct in starts with under 5.0 yds/att He has the most wins of any active QB with under 5.0 yds/att.”Nix has the best career record in NFL history in games with under 5.0 yards per attemptGettyWinning ugly may keep the Broncos in the playoff picture for now, but relying on conservative passing leaves little room for error against elite competition.
