Rookie Bo Nix strengthens his bid for the Broncos’ starting QB job in a 27-2 win over the Packers

Associated Press  

DENVER — Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton isn’t ready to name rookie quarterback Bo Nix his starter just yet. I’m not announcing any starting quarterback tonight,” Payton said after Nix made another strong case for the gig when he led Denver to scores on both of his drives in his first NFL start, a 27-2 win over the Green Bay Packers’ backups on Sunday night. “It was a good lesson for our guys in terms of it doesn’t matter who’s out there, if you don’t put your best foot forward each and every time you go out on that field, these things can happen to you.” Stidham’s 9-yard scramble into the end zone made it 17-0 just before halftime following Keidron Smith’s 56-yard interception return of a deep pass from Sean Clifford, who got the start with Jordan Love in a baseball cap. But I think you really lose the advantage of the field position that you typically gain from a safety.” INJURIES: Packers LB Ralen Goforth sustained a concussion on Stidham’s touchdown just before halftime.
