Bo Nix Ends Social-Media Silence With Ruthless Message for Broncos Fans
Days after leading the Denver Broncos to a dramatic 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the quarterback posted a slick Instagram reel full of Broncos highlights that ends on a stark, simple graphic: 0-0.
For a player who recently admitted he deletes his social media apps to avoid outside noise, the post landed like a deliberate, ruthless message about where his focus is now.
Bo Nix’s message on his IG reel is he’s approaching the rest of the season with a 0-0 mindset
Bo Nix’s ‘0-0’ Instagram Reel Ends Social-Media Silence
The reel plays like a personal hype video for Nix’s second
Instead of closing on the scoreboard from Sunday’s win over
Broncos fans did the explaining for him in the comments, flooding the reel with “job’s not finished” vibes and Super Bowl talk.
On X, DNVR Broncos reporter Zac Stevens helped the clip go wider, writing that Nix’s message is that he’s approaching the rest of the season with a “0-0 mindset.”
The timing couldn’t be bigger. Nix just threw for 295 yards on 24-of-37 passing against Kansas City, engineering a game-winning drive that set up Wil Lutz’s 35-yard field goal at the buzzer to beat the defending champs and keep Denver atop the AFC West.
Why the ‘0-0’ Message Hits Different After Nix’s Admission
The reel also lands differently because of what Nix said last week.
Speaking to reporters before the Chiefs game, Nix revealed he deletes his social media so he doesn’t hear criticism or praise, saying he doesn’t hear anything unless someone says it to his face. He described online chatter as part of the “entertainment” side of football that he tries to block out so he can stop overthinking and just play.
That Heavy story painted a picture of a quarterback intentionally unplugging to protect his process during a stretch when Denver’s offense was under heavy scrutiny.
Now, after one of the biggest wins of his young career, Nix is using those same platforms — at least temporarily, and perhaps, due to the luxury of more idle time during a bye week — to reinforce the exact mindset he’s been talking about. The highlights celebrate what’s happened; the “0-0” at the end wipes the slate clean.
It fits with how teammates and coaches have described him since the win. Broncos linemen and coaches have praised Nix’s toughness and preparation, saying he faced the criticism “head on”
What Nix’s Mindset Means for the Broncos’ Super Bowl Push
The “0-0” message comes with Denver squarely in the mix. The Broncos are 9-2, riding that eight-game winning streak and sitting in first place in the AFC West after back-to-back wins over Kansas City in the rivalry.
Nix already owns the record for the most fourth-quarter comebacks by a quarterback in his first two NFL seasons, a stat that has helped turn skeptical national chatter into full-on “franchise QB” debates.
But the reel makes it clear he isn’t interested in a victory lap — or in what anyone outside the Broncos’ building thinks about his play.
By ending his social-media silence with a ruthless “0-0” stamp, Nix is telling Broncos fans and teammates the same thing: the season that matters starts now, and everything that’s happened so far is just the opening act.
Bo Nix heading into the bye week:
2,421 passing yards (10th) 21 total touchdowns (t-4th) 18 passing touchdowns (t-5th) 237 completions (3rd)
9-2 and has his team first in the AFC West and in the AFC

Retired NBA Player Calls Out Lakers Foul-Baiting Style
The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the most impressive NBA teams this season. Skeptics questioned whether they had a chance against the top Western Conference squads even at full strength, but they’ve been among the league’s best.
Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves both having dream seasons put the Lakers in a top four seed with an 11-4 record. Retired
“They’re getting a lot of calls,” Parsons said on his Run It Back show. “They’re dependent on this in their offense. So, if I’m a team scouting against them, I am saying, guys, let’s try. I know obviously it’s hard because they have mastered doing this just like Jalen Brunson has, just like a lot of other guys have.”
Parsons Feels Lakers Can’t With Ethically
The online debate about foul baiting being dubbed “unethical” basketball has led to criticism of players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Brunson and others who hunt for fouls in recent years. Parsons believes that opposing teams playing smarter would limit the Lakers more than other top teams:
“Defend them without fouling, and they are gonna struggle, especially in the half court, because this is their game. They create contact, they flail into you, they throw their head back every time there are hands. So teams going forward have to realize, okay, they’re getting a lot of free throws, especially these two ball-dominant guys. You have to defend them without fouling, and I think their offense will obviously take a huge hit.”
The Lakers are second in free-throw attempts per game at 29.1, tied with the Dallas Mavericks. Only one team shoots more free throws, as the Orlando Magic average 31.7 per game. Parsons thinks the Lakers show a stronger flaw than the other true contenders by this reliance on free throws.
Is Parsons Right About The Lakers?
The overall talking point comes back to how much one believes in the Lakers being legitimate and carrying this strong play into the postseason. One major problem is that the Western Conference has three juggernaut teams. The
Los Angeles must have a consistently dominant season just to secure home court in the first round and rely on that style of play to beat equal or better teams in the playoffs. Parsons’ point also highlights the postseason style of more intense basketball and fewer fouls being called.
Doncic and Reaves may not get many of the same calls that come easier in random weeknight games against poor teams in November. Parsons didn’t completely bury the Lakers, but he made it clear that this style makes them vulnerable in close games against better teams.
