Bo Nix Wanted to Go for 2 vs. Bengals, Owns Troy Franklin Overthrow in OT

Cincinnati Bengals On SI

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was very self aware when answering if he wanted to go for two at the end of regulation in the 30-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He's the quarterback, of course he wanted to go for two. He also knows the team had its chances in overtime, including a missed opportunity when he overthrew Troy Franklin for what would have been the game-winning touchdown.

00:00Well, me, I have no decision-making, so I'm trying to go for twos.

00:04But at the end of the day, that's probably not always the wisest decision.

00:08Glad I don't make the decisions for our team cuz I would go off straight emotion

00:13and what I wanna do.

00:14But they thought it out, they processed it.

00:16And in that case, it was better to kick a field goal and play in overtime.

00:20Emotionally, tell me overall, the competitors wants to go for it.

00:27Yeah, I definitely want the ball a chance to win the game.

00:30But we had a chance in overtime to do that, and I missed that one.

00:36So it was a good decision by us, kick the field goal, play for overtime.

00:41We had stopped them enough to feel good about it.

00:45And we thought we could move the ball in overtime, but we didn't.

00:48And so they got the final drive there.

00:52My mindset is, my job is to go out there and score points.

00:56So whatever the coach calls, it's my job to execute.

01:00You play the whole game, you get to these opportunities, and I gotta hit those.

01:05That's what NFL quarterbacks do.

01:06So I'm gonna continue to work till I do hit those.

01:11And not put my team in that position, and I feel like I kinda let them down.
