The start to the rookie quarterback’s time in Denver hasn’t been pleasant after creating a ton of buzz and optimism during training camp and two impressive preseason games. Now the Broncos are 0-2, while Nix has thrown 384 passing yards, four interceptions and zero touchdowns.

With Baker Mayfield leading the way, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to start 3-0 in a season for the first time since 2005 when they host the Denver Broncos.

It's safe to say that rookie quarterbacks have struggled out of the gates in 2024. First-year signal-callers have 196 passing attempts, zero passing touchdowns and six interceptions through two weeks, as defenses have always had the upper hand.
