“’Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart,’ Jeremiah 1:5.”

The announcement comes two days before the Broncos’ game against the New York Jets, which is in London. 

The couple got married in 2022 and started dating when Bo attended Auburn.

The comments on the post were flooded with congratulations from Nix’s current and former college teammates. Broncos’ backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver and Nix’s former Oregon teammate Tez Johnson, and New England Patriots cornerback and former Oregon teammate Christian Gonzalez were among those who commented. 

The announcement follows the Broncos’ come-from-behind win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The win put them at 3-2 on the season.

The Broncos won their Week 1 game against the Tennessee Titans, then lost their next two games to the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers. After beating the Joe Burrow-less Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4 and the Eagles, they head to London with some positive momentum.

Nix has been solid this season. In five games, he has completed nearly 65% of his passes for 1,103 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions. 

His game-winning drive against the Eagles was his first of this season and the fourth of his career. 

Between the pregnancy announcement and the Broncos win in Week 5, Nix will look to keep the good vibes rolling when they take on the winless Jets (0-5) Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
