Bo Nix celebrates with fans after a big victory.
Bo Nix just found a very public way to say he’s not satisfied.
Days after leading the Denver Broncos to a dramatic 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the quarterback posted a slick Instagram reel full of Broncos highlights that ends on a stark, simple graphic: 0-0.
For a player who recently admitted he deletes his social media apps to avoid outside noise, the post landed like a deliberate, ruthless message about where his focus is now.

Bo Nix’s message on his IG reel is he’s approaching the rest of the season with a 0-0 mindset
Bo Nix’s ‘0-0’ Instagram Reel Ends Social-Media Silence
The reel plays like a personal hype video for Nix’s second NFL season. Big-time third-down lasers, deep shots, and sideline celebrations roll by — the same kind of plays that have fueled Denver’s eight-game winning streak and 9-2 start.
Instead of closing on the scoreboard from Sunday’s win over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, the screen fades to white and flashes “0-0.” There’s no caption explaining it.
Broncos fans did the explaining for him in the comments, flooding the reel with “job’s not finished” vibes and Super Bowl talk.
On X, DNVR Broncos reporter Zac Stevens helped the clip go wider, writing that Nix’s message is that he’s approaching the rest of the season with a “0-0 mindset.”
The timing couldn’t be bigger. Nix just threw for 295 yards on 24-of-37 passing against Kansas City, engineering a game-winning drive that set up Wil Lutz’s 35-yard field goal at the buzzer to beat the defending champs and keep Denver atop the AFC West.
Why the ‘0-0’ Message Hits Different After Nix’s Admission
The reel also lands differently because of what Nix said last week.
Speaking to reporters before the Chiefs game, Nix revealed he deletes his social media so he doesn’t hear criticism or praise, saying he doesn’t hear anything unless someone says it to his face. He described online chatter as part of the “entertainment” side of football that he tries to block out so he can stop overthinking and just play.
That Heavy story painted a picture of a quarterback intentionally unplugging to protect his process during a stretch when Denver’s offense was under heavy scrutiny.
Now, after one of the biggest wins of his young career, Nix is using those same platforms — at least temporarily, and perhaps, due to the luxury of more idle time during a bye week — to reinforce the exact mindset he’s been talking about. The highlights celebrate what’s happened; the “0-0” at the end wipes the slate clean.
It fits with how teammates and coaches have described him since the win. Broncos linemen and coaches have praised Nix’s toughness and preparation,saying he faced the criticism “head on” and promised he’d be better going into the Chiefs game — then delivered.
What Nix’s Mindset Means for the Broncos’ Super Bowl Push
The “0-0” message comes with Denver squarely in the mix. The Broncos are 9-2, riding that eight-game winning streak and sitting in first place in the AFC West after back-to-back wins over Kansas City in the rivalry.
Nix already owns the record for the most fourth-quarter comebacks by a quarterback in his first two NFL seasons, a stat that has helped turn skeptical national chatter into full-on “franchise QB” debates.
But the reel makes it clear he isn’t interested in a victory lap — or in what anyone outside the Broncos’ building thinks about his play.
By ending his social-media silence with a ruthless “0-0” stamp, Nix is telling Broncos fans and teammates the same thing: the season that matters starts now, and everything that’s happened so far is just the opening act.
