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.

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.

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.
