Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos are off and running in the preseason and Nix, on his second drive of the preseason, has thrown his first touchdown pass in a Broncos uniform.
After an up-and-down possession on his first drive, Nix looked great on his second possession against the Indianapolis Colts. The drive culminated in a short touchdown pass on 3rd-and-goal. Take a look:

Nix used a great play fake but what was most impressive was the quickness with which he got the ball out of his hand, throwing a perfect dart to wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr.
Broncos fans had to be elated to see that because it's been a rarity with the team's quarterbacks in recent years.
Bo Nix off to great preseason start for Broncos
In his first two possessions, Nix, in relief of Jarrett Stidham, is 5-of-9 passing for 44 yards and a touchdown in the game, which is currently in progress.
Nix will start the second preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. It remains to be seen how much more he will play in this game.
Zach Wilson will take over and likely play the rest of the way for the team. Nix has already shown Broncos fans a lot to be excited about heading into the 2024 season.
