Bo Nix completed 15 of 21 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown as the Denver Broncos knocked off the host Indianapolis Colts 34-30 in both teams’ preseason opener Sunday.

After Jarrett Stidham quarterbacked Denver’s first two drives and amassed 37 yards with an interception, Nix took over for the rest of the half and into the third quarter. The first-round draft pick guided four scoring drives for the Broncos (1-0), including one that ended with a 1-yard TD pass to Marvin Mims Jr. in the second quarter. He also ran three times for 17 yards.

The Broncos’ third quarterback option, Zach Wilson, went 10-of-13 for 117 yards. Audric Estime ran for 31 yards and one of three Denver rushing touchdowns.

Anthony Richardson led two brief Indianapolis drives to start the game before giving way to four quarterbacks in relief. Richardson went 2-for-4 for 25 yards plus a 1-yard rush. Star running back Jonathan Taylor started and had two carries for four yards for the Colts (0-1).

The Colts’ Micah Abraham returned a fumble by Estime 45 yards for a touchdown.

Rams 13, Cowboys 12

Stetson Bennett found Miller Forristall for a 6-yard touchdown with four seconds left in the fourth quarter to lift Los Angeles to a victory over Dallas in Inglewood, Calif.

Outside of the game-winning TD pass, Bennett had a rough day, getting picked off four times. He completed 24 of 38 passes for 224 yards. Jordan Whittington hauled in six catches for 74 yards for the Rams (1-0).

The Cowboys (0-1) were up 12-6 after a pair of fourth-quarter field goals — from 38 and 52 yards out — by Brandon Aubrey. Trey Lance threw for 188 yards on 25-for-41 passing, and he was also Dallas’ leading rusher (six carries, 44 yards).
