DENVER (AP) — Justin Fields won his second straight start in place of an injured Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers throttled Bo Nix in a 13-6 win over the sputtering Denver Broncos.
A lingering calf injury kept Wilson on the sideline as the Steelers' emergency QB in his return to Denver to face the team that benched him late last season and then cut him in March.
The growing pains of Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix continue as he managed just two field goal drives in a 13-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nix struggled again to find any rhythm and the Broncos had a hard time moving the ball in losing Nix's home opener and falling to 0-2 for the second straight season under coach Sean Payton.
Nix threw two interceptions, was sacked twice and saw the offense struggle on third downs, converting just 2 of 12. His confidence, though, remains far from rattled.
