Bo Nix becomes 5th QB in NFL history to pull off unreal single-game stat

Bo Nix has taken a lot of scrutiny for his play this season, but he has also helped the Denver Broncos start the year with a 5-2 record. In their latest win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, he accomplished a feat only four other quarterbacks have ever done, as he rushed and passed for a touchdown of at least 50 yards.
As you can see below, the last time a QB accomplished this feat on the road was 1938.
The score was tied at 6 late in the first half, when Nix took off up the middle and scored on a 62-yard run that is as easy of a run as an NFL player will ever get.
To start the second half, he helped the Broncos create the separation from the Cardinals as he connected with running back RJ Harvey on a 52-yard pass.
The Broncos have one of the elite defenses in the NFL, and how well Nix plays will play a huge role on how far the Broncos go this season.
Denver will look for Nix to continue to make big plays in Week 8, as the Broncos host the Kansas City Chiefs in arguably the biggest game of the year for the Broncos. If they win the game, then they will be first in the division. If not, they will be basically three games behind the Chiefs and in a real tough spot to repeat in the AFC West.
