Rookie Bo Nix impressed by leading the Denver Broncos to a 27-2 victory over the Green Bay Packers, furthering his case for the starting quarterback role. Meanwhile, the New England Patriots face a tight quarterback competition between rookie Drake Maye and veteran Jacoby Brissett. Maye has shown significant progress in training camp and preseason games, outperforming Brissett in recent performances, which has kept the starting job decision open. Patriots' head coach Jerod Mayo has not ruled out Maye starting in Week 1, emphasizing that the competition remains ongoing. The New Orleans Saints will play the San Francisco 49ers in their second preseason game, focusing on improving their running game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
