Broncos quarterback Bo Nix admits he needs to simplify his approach following a rocky start to the season. Nix says he wants to make quicker decisions, trust his reads and avoid trying to do too much offensively. The third-year quarterback has completed just under 60 percent of his passes this season, throwing six touchdowns and three interceptions through five games. Head coach Sean Payton has also emphasized improving Nix's footwork and timing as Denver looks for more consistency on offense. The Broncos are now 3-2 and return home to face the Seattle Seahawks Thursday night.
