It was the second-straight preseason game Sanchez didn’t play.

Sanchez said he’s disappointed, as a competitor, by his regression from presumed starter to third-stringer, but will try to be supportive and help Siemian and Lynch.
“That’s experience; they changed coverage up on him and he’s got to make a better decision with the ball”, Kubiak said.
Well, if you expected a ideal game or a bad game, you haven’t followed much of Paxton Lynch since he came to Denver.
And, we’ll go ahead and save you the Google search for “butt fumble”.
The two scores came on connections with 2015 undrafted free agent Jordan Taylor, one being a 57-yard catch and run and the other via a fade route deep in Arizona Cardinals territory.
Many, if not most, of those who played won’t have a job tomorrow.
“Obviously, it didn’t work out very good”, Kubiak said. “I have gone up and down while I was learning everything”.
“Like I have said from the beginning, I am just going to keep doing my job and do whatever the team needs me to do”, he explained. “So I think as time goes on, just be more consistent”.
He also was the holder when Brandon McManus missed a 46-yard field goal in Denver’s loss to the Cardinals.
In six National Football League seasons, Sanchez has thrown 84 interceptions and fumbled the ball 51 times.
Another player on offense that showed some promise yet again last night was Kapri Bibbs who was solid and versatile all preseason, also looks to have taken over the 3rd string spot at running back.
Lynch closed out the preseason having thrown the most passes (68) to go with the most completions (40), most passing yards (458) and most passing touchdowns (four) of the Broncos’ three quarterbacks. “As soon as I saw him play in that first game, I knew he was something special and had that “It” factor”. “He won the job for not only what he did Thursday but for what he’s done this whole off-season”. That led to a six-play, 45-yard Cardinals touchdown drive, Barkley throwing 14 yards to Jaxson Shipley for the TD with 30 seconds left in the half.
