The 93-yard score Monday vs. the Browns demonstrated Sean Payton's trust in Denver's rookie QB and speedy second-year receiver.

Marvin Mims Jr. took off out of the slot, ripped up the middle of the field toward the Broncos’ south end zone at Empower Field and came open just as Bo Nix cut loose a throw. The ball hit the turf harmlessly and Mims looked to the sky after the latest in a string of what-could-have-been moments.

The Denver Broncos offense has been leaps and bounds better over the past quarter of the season. In case you missed it. The rise of Bo Nix is garnering the headlines, and for good reason, as the three-week-in-a-row Rookie of the Week.
