GLENDALE, Ariz.—Bo Nix rolled out to his right early in the second quarter while calmly surveying the field before flinging the ball across his body and into the end zone—a perfectly placed dart to Gary Bryant Jr. for a 2-yard touchdown.

The Oregon quarterback exuded the confidence of a man who has made throws like that before.
