Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix looked sharp in his NFL debut against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, going 15-of-21 passing for 125 yards with one touchdown and no turnovers.
In the second quarter, Nix threw a one-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Marvin Mims. That marked the quarterback’s first touchdown in the NFL, albeit in a preseason game. Nix apparently didn’t give much thought to it.
“I tried giving Bo Nix the ball afterwards but I think he gave it back to the refs,” Mims said after the game. “So he is waiting for that a first regular season (touchdown), I guess.”
A Broncos fan posted a great video of the play on Reddit that shows Nix tossing the ball to the officials after the play:

“It was a nice play by Marv,” Nix said after the game. “He did a good job of getting to the corner, and we executed well. We’ve been practicing and repping that play quite a lot, and they bumped it off and had some space, and we were able to get a touchdown.”
First touchdown in the NFL? No big deal. Nix has more important touchdowns on his agenda. Bring on the regular season.
