Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix says he and the offense must improve as Denver enters Week 7 with the NFL’s No. 31-ranked offense. Nix is confident the unit can turn things around, while Las Vegas Raiders receiver Tre Tucker is making the most of his opportunities and benched guard Jackson Powers-Johnson is focused on staying ready.

By the Numbers
  • Denver ranks 31st in offense entering Week 7.
  • Through six games, Nix has completed 60.3% of his passes for 1,049 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions.
  • Tucker had two touchdowns and 97 receiving yards in Week 6.
  • Powers-Johnson started the Raiders’ first four games before being replaced by Caleb Rogers.
Yes, But

Nix acknowledges he needs to play better and says his offseason ankle surgeries still affect his return-to-play process, though he says he isn’t physically worried. Tucker’s production, meanwhile, depends on how defenses play Las Vegas and how games unfold, so consistent opportunities aren’t guaranteed.

State of Play
  • Nix says he is working to balance aggressive throws with protecting the football and expects his mindset to influence the offense.
  • Tucker understands his role and says the Raiders’ plays are there to execute when called; quarterback Kirk Cousins praised the receiver’s elite speed.
  • Powers-Johnson says he’ll keep competing and supporting his teammates while the coaches determine the lineup.
What's Next

Nix will look to build his conditioning and help lift Denver’s struggling offense. Powers-Johnson’s next opportunity is uncertain, but coach Klint Kubiak has urged him to stay prepared for it.

Bottom Line

Denver needs its offense—and its quarterback—to deliver more consistently. In Las Vegas, Tucker is converting chances into production, while Powers-Johnson’s path back to the lineup depends on staying ready and earning another opportunity.
