Nix went 6-of-9 for 76 yards and a touchdown. He had a 35-yard throw to his new wide receiver, Jaylen Waddle, and hit RJ Harvey for a 21-yard touchdown.

It was the first time Nix had offensive coordinator Davis Webb in his ear calling plays. In his two previous seasons, head coach Sean Payton called the plays.
