For Pete's Sake

Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had an incredible start to Sunday’s game against the Chiefs in Denver, completing his first 19 passes.

Unfortunately, one of them was a forward lateral late in the first half after Nix had rushed for 27 yards.

That resulted in a penalty, but because Nix had rushed for a first down, there was no loss of down as Shawn Hochuli explained. Hochuli also noted that the game clock needed to be reset and there was a 10-second runoff.

Broncos fans began booing, but Hochuli sloughed it off and finished by telling the crowd, “Let’s go.”

This was a funny moment from the game.
