ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Rookie Bo Nix was named the Denver Broncos' starting quarterback by coach Sean Payton on Wednesday.

When Nix lines up behind center for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener in Seattle against the Seahawks, Nix will be the first Denver rookie to start the regular-season opener since John Elway in 1983.

Nix and Jarrett Stidham met Wednesday before practice with Payton, who informed the two quarterbacks of the decision.
