Bo Nix completed 15 of 21 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown as the Denver Broncos knocked off the host Indianapolis Colts 34-30 in both teams’ preseason opener Sunday.
After Jarrett Stidham quarterbacked Denver’s first two drives and amassed 37 yards with an interception, Nix took over for the rest of the half and into the third quarter. The first-round draft pick guided four Broncos scoring drives, including one that ended with a 1-yard TD pass to Marvin Mims Jr. in the second quarter. He also ran three times for 17 yards.
The Broncos’ third quarterback option, Zach Wilson, went 10-of-13 for 117 yards. Audric Estime ran for 31 yards and one of three Denver rushing touchdowns.
Anthony Richardson led two brief Indianapolis drives to start the game before giving way to four quarterbacks in relief. Richardson went 2-for-4 for 25 yards plus a 1-yard rush. Star running back Jonathan Taylor started and had two carries for four yards.
The Colts’ Micah Abraham returned a fumble by Estime 45 yards for a touchdown.
