  "account": "Bo Nix, the Denver Broncos quarterback, returned to action just as his team hoped during the preseason. After recovering from a broken ankle sustained in the AFC divisional round last season, Nix made an immediate impact. He played only two drives in his preseason debut, but his performance was nothing short of impressive. Nix completed 6 of 9 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown, showcasing his ability to move the offense effectively. He found his new No. 1 target, Jaylen Waddle, for a 35-yard touchdown, an exact move the Broncos had been hoping to see. Nix also connected with running back RJ Harvey on a 21-yard touchdown wheel route. His return was praised by CBS Sports, who called him a winner, and it's easy to see why. After his second drive, Nix's performance proved that simply getting back on the field, even with a limited appearance, was a major accomplishment for a quarterback coming off a serious injury.",
