Broncos need to collectively help rookie quarterback Bo Nix

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The first NFL steps for Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix were a bit wobbly, but coach Sean Payton believes much of that was due to Nix not getting enough help from his friends in the season opener.

That will need to change in the weeks to come, starting with this Sunday's home opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers (4:25 p.m. ET, Empower Field at Mile High, CBS). And that change must be generated by a long list of people -- which, according to Payton, includes himself.

"We have to do better around him," Payton said.
