Stat line: 16 for 26, 164 passing yards; 10 carries, 75 rushing yards

Highlight: Javonte Williams wasn’t the only one having success running the football. Nix set the tone on the first play of the game scrambling for 14 yards. In the third quarter, Nix took a designed run off left tackle 32 yards down the sideline to set up Williams’ 5-yard TD run to take a 26-3 lead. Nix averaged 7.5 yards per carry.

Lowlight: Even if Nix threw for 400 yards on Thursday, that still wouldn’t wipe away the memory of him missing two wide-open targets on Denver’s first drive. Nix had tight end Lucas Krull and wide receiver Troy Franklin wide open in the red zone, but the rookie failed to get his feet properly set, resulting in an incompletion that somehow landed between both pass-catchers.

Analysis: Nix’s footwork and downfield accuracy continue to be problematic. In addition to his incompletion to Krull, he underthrew the ball to tight end Adam Trautman, forcing Denver to settle for a field goal in the second quarter. Still, Nix did some good things in the win. He did a good job running the ball and taking advantage of design runs. He also had three impressive throws to Franklin, Krull and rookie wideout Devaughn Vele. Overall, Nix was solid in his first primetime game.
