Bo Nix’s Mile High Magic is real: the rookie drops 33 fourth-quarter points vs. the Giants—2 rush TDs, 2 pass TDs—drawing John Elway comparisons and igniting the Denver Broncos to 5–2. On Broncos X & O’s with Rod Smith, we break down why up-tempo looks, the intermediate passing game, and Cortland Sutton’s clutch chemistry are the keys Sean Payton must lean into. We also tackle defensive tweaks after NYG, the WR room’s grade through seven weeks, and how to replicate that late surge without living on miracles. Plus: a Cowboys preview—why Denver must start fast to beat Dak, CeeDee Lamb & a top-tier Dallas offense. Rod Smith joins Bennie Fowler and Dave Logan on the smartest podcast in Broncos Country, Broncos X's and O's.
