On Tuesday morning, Broncos edge rusher Nik Bonitto hopped on Kay Adams’ “Up & Adams Show” and attempted to put into words the developing clutch gene of one Bo Nix.

“He lives for those type of moments, man,” Bonitto said, smiling . “He’s come up big for us two times this year already in the clutch like that. And when it’s time to let Bo cook, man, he’s been doing his thing.”

Stats don’t lie. For three straight games, Nix has morphed from Denver’s lost prince into a relentless werewolf when the clock hits the fourth quarter. Nix has completed 45 of 66 passes (68%) in that quarter for 494 yards, four touchdowns, one interception and a 104.0 quarterback rating. When trailing with less than four minutes remaining, he’s 6 of 9 for 103 yards and a score.
