Pittsburgh Steelers 13, Denver Broncos 6

For all the promises that Denver Broncos starting quarterback Bo Nix What he showed in pre-season, he was passive and, well, a rookie in the regular season.

Nix threw his third interception of the year, on a crucial red-zone drive, and collected just six points amid a solid defensive effort from Denver. His fourth pick of the young season came on the final play of the game. The 13-6 loss puts the Broncos at 0-2, while the Steelers are off to a 2-0 start behind backup — or, perhaps, new starter — Justin Velden.
