Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix scored his first NFL touchdown – but also threw two interceptions – in his debut Sunday in Seattle as Denver lost to the Seattle Seahawks, 26-20.
Nix completed 26 of 42 passes for a pedestrian 138 yards. He scrambled for a four-yard score with just over two minutes to play.
Seattle's Kenneth Walker III rushed for 84 of his 103 yards and a touchdown in the second half as the Seahawks overcame a mistake-filled first half.
Denver led at halftime, 13-9, thanks in part to a rare pair of safeties on the defensive end – the first team to accomplish the feat in a season opener in more than 60 years.
The Seahawks took over in the second half, though, behind Walker's 23-yard rushing touchdown and a 30-yard passing touchdown from Geno Smith to Zach Charbonnet.
