  "account": "Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix played his preseason debut against the Green Bay Packers last week, his first live game action since breaking his ankle during the divisional round of the NFL playoffs in January. Nix completed 6 of 9 passes for 76 yards and scored a touchdown, leading two scoring drives before sitting out the rest of the game. Denver's coach, Sean Payton, commented on Nix's performance after Monday's practice, stating, \"Good. I thought he did a good job.\" He praised Nix's movement skills and ability to operate the huddle effectively. Payton also commended offensive coordinator Davis Webb's play-calling, noting, \"It was smooth, it was good. Communication process was good. Yes, no issues. It was all clean.\" Denver will face the Minnesota Vikings in their final preseason game on Friday, after which they will prepare for their Week 1 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.",
