Denver Broncos second-year quarterback Bo Nix underwhelmed in the team's preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday evening. Denver's first-team offense punted on its opening drive, and Nix took a safety with an intentional grounding penalty from his own end zone on the team's second possession.

Nix ended up playing into early in the second quarter, but given the middling results for the first-team offense, he's likely in for another solid allotment of playing time in the Broncos' second preseason contest next Saturday night at home against the Cardinals.
