CHICAGO — The game may have been for the twos and threes, but all eyes were on the ones.
On the same field where the Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler eras began, Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian crossed their biggest hurdle yet in their race to lead the next era in Broncos history.
The two co-No. 1 quarterbacks helped the Broncos to a 20-0 lead at the half of their preseason opener against the Bears at Soldier Field on Thursday. But the score was merely a measuring stick for the reigning Super Bowl champions. And an arbitrary one at that.
