QB Bo Nix receives praise from Travis Kelce

The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to win their third straight Super Bowl title. The undefeated Chiefs appeared as if they were going to lose their first game of the season in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos.

The Chiefs blocked a field goal attempt by the Denver Broncos, securing the win and keeping Kansas City undefeated.

Despite the ending, Bo Nix's performance and growth in his rookie season has been acknowledged all around. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce praised Nix and explained how impressed he was with the rookie quarterback's performance on Sunday afternoon.

On this week's episode of the "New Heights" podcast, Travis Kelce told his brother Jason Kelce how impressed he was by Nix. This was big praise coming from a player who spent seven seasons catching passes from Patrick Mahomes.

"Bo Nix — holy sh*t, that guy was f**king ripping it out there. Playing some good f**king football, man." - Travis Kelce said on the "New Heights" podcast.

In his first 10 games of the National Football League, Nix has completed 206 of 324 attempted passes. He's thrown for 1,968 yards and 10 passing touchdowns with just six interceptions. He has also rushed for 290 yards and four rushing touchdowns.
