Bo Nix has only play seven games in the NFL, but the Denver Broncos' rookie quarterback has already accomplished something former Broncos great John Elway achieved.

The Denver Broncos opened Week 7 in dominating fashion, taking down the New Orleans Saints 33-10 on Thursday. The game also marked former Saints coach Sean Payton's return to New Orleans. Payton coached the Saints to the franchise's lone Super Bowl victory in 2010. In April, Payton and the Denver Broncos' front office decided to draft quarterback Bo Nix in the first round.

The win over New Orleans improved Denver's record to 4-3 and allowed Nix to match the Broncos' record for wins by a rookie quarterback. Two-time Super Bowl winner and Pro Football Hall of Famer John Elway previously set the mark in 1983. The team finished that season with a 4-7 record. In 2019, quarterback Drew Lock went 4-1 in five starts during his rookie campaign. Nix said realizing he had achieved something in line with one of the franchise's greatest players meant 'a lot.' 'It means a lot,' the rookie signal caller told reporters on Thursday night. 'You’re talking about one of the greats to ever do it at our organization. It means a lot.

The Broncos got off to an 0-2 start, but then proceeded to go on a three-game winning streak. After dropping last week's game to the Los Angeles Chargers, the team got back on the winning track against New Orleans. The Saints played a second consecutive game without normal starter Derek Carr, as the veteran quarterback continues to recover from an oblique injury.
