CHICAGO -- Menelik Watson's first play as a Bronco could scarcely have gone worse.

In the snap of a finger, Bears outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, their first-round pick a year ago, was around Watson and had missile lock on Trevor Siemian. With that sack, Watson suddenly had a chance to live out the lesson he had been trying to share with rookie Garett Bolles, who made his NFL debut as the Broncos' starter at left tackle and didn't allow a sack or a quarterback hit in 15 snaps of work.
