Ryan Fitzpatrick rips Bo Nix after Broncos beat Seahawks in overtime
Former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick criticized Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix following a low-scoring overtime win against the Seattle Seahawks. Fitzpatrick described Nix's performance as uncompetitive despite the team's current 4-2 record.
Why it matters
Public criticism of high-profile athletes by former players often influences fan sentiment and media narratives surrounding team performance.
After another ugly outing from Bo Nix , Amazon Prime analyst and former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick ripped the Broncos ' quarterback, calling his performance "almost disrespectful to the quarterback position" and "not playing competitive football." The rant, which came after a 17-14 Denver win over Seattle, clearly caught fellow analysts Tony Gonzalez, Andrew Whitworth and Richard Sherman by surprise.

Nix went 17 for 27 for 107 yards, an average of 4.0 yards per attempt. He did not throw a touchdown or have a turnover. The zero turnovers were key, considering the Seahawks had three, including two Sam Darnold interceptions, one of which set up Wil Lutz's game-winning field goal in overtime. Still, it was ugly.
