Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian QB competition neck-and-neck in first half vs. Chicago

NFL reporter Cameron Wolfe analyzes how Broncos quarterbacks Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch performed in the preseason opener Thursday night.

Sanchez — The opening drive couldn’t have gone better for Sanchez going 7-of-8 for 83 yards capped off by a 32-yard touchdown to Demaryius Thomas. He was in strong command of the offense, impressive under pressure and accurate to his underneath receivers. The second drive revealed what has been Sanchez’s Achilles’ heel – turnovers – as he threw into traffic, the ball was tipped and ultimately intercepted. He went three-and-out in his final drive.
