Sanchez makes good case for QB job, Broncos beat Bears 22-0 (Yahoo Sports)

Mark Sanchez made a strong opening argument for the Denver Broncos' starting quarterback job, throwing for 99 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter, and the defending Super Bowl champions beat the Chicago Bears 22-0 in the preseason opener on Thursday night. Sanchez maintained his cool against Chicago's pressure and kept the opening drive going by completing three third-down passes - including a 32-yard TD to a wide open Demaryius Thomas along the right side. Jay Cutler threw for 18 yards and got sacked twice in the first quarter.
