Jarrett Stidham might have gotten the start, but rookie Bo Nix started the scoring for the Denver Broncos<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nix, the 12th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, made his preseason debut in the Denver\u2019s Sunday\u2019s 34-30 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He led the Broncos on four scoring drives to highlight a remarkable initial showing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In five drives, Nix was the quarterback that led the Broncos to two touchdowns and two field goals, with a laser of a 1-yard touchdown to Marvin Mims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was a good day,” Nix said postgame. “I thought we ran the ball efficiently. Made some good plays in the pass game. Converted some third downs. Got points when we needed to; it was a good job going into half with points and coming out with points, felt like that was a good point in the game. Overall, I thought we did a good job, a huge team win.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nix completed 15 of 21 passes for 125 yards for his final line. His touchdown has a 102.3 passer rating, complemented by three runs for 17 yards. Meanwhile, Stidham was 4 of 7 for 37 yards, no TDs, an interception and 32.1 rating. In all fairness to the veteran, neither his interception nor the two futile drives were on him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All three of them did a good job,” Payton said, including Zach Wilson, who played for most of the second half and concluded 10 of 13 passes for 117 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, the highlights were for Nix and the first-rounder delivered a spectacular performance. His release was quick, his scrambling capacity sensational, and his command of Sean Payton\u2019s offense was on the mark for his first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in the week, Payton announced that Nix would start for the Broncos in the Week 2 preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, August 18th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
