The Sanchize Era did not start out as planned for Gary Kubiak and the Denver Broncos.
With his first snap in the orange and blue, Mark Sanchez threw an incomplete pass with his left hand — he’s right handed.

The Mark Sanchez Era starts with a left-handed throw out of bounds. This team is going to the Super Bowl!

But from that point on, Sanchez was lights out.
The Broncos drove down the field on the back of No. 6’s right arm. With the help of Virgil Green, Sanchez converted on several third-down conversions.

Another 1st down for Sanchez.

Virgil Green already with 2 catches from Sanchez. his size & power make him a great safety valve #broncos

Virgil Green looks like Mark Sanchez's favorite target #Broncos

The drive was capped off by a 32-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas on third and long.

And while it may just be preseason, a drive where Sanchez completed 88 percent of his passes for 81 yards and a touchdown was enough to get Broncos Country excited.

Sanchez gets hammered to throw that TD to Demaryius Thomas. first drive, lots of 4 WR sets for #Broncos – want to see pass game

Don’t hate #Sanchize

Nice job by Sanchez reading the gap in deep coverage, allowing DT plenty of space for the grab. 7-0, Broncos.

Perfection for Sanchez on the first drive. The vet is here to play #Broncos
