The Denver Broncos starting offense got their first touchdown of the preseason, from quarterback Bo Nix to wide receiver Courtland Sutton, putting the Broncos up 10-6 over the New Orleans Saints. The offense had a rough first drive, going three-and-out, before finally getting a field goal on their second time down the field.
