“I thought he played well. You feel like you’re in good hands," Payton said of Nix. "He’s smart with the football. He makes plays with his feet. A lot of times you’re calling plays for certain looks the looks aren’t there. He has that ability to create and all the while protect the football. I thought he played really well.”
