Paxton Lynch Sacked On First Play Of His Pro Career
CHICAGO (CBS4) - Broncos rookie quarterback Paxton Lynch came into Thursday night's game in Chicago in the second half and was sacked on his first offensive play.
After quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian played in the first and second quarters respectively, Lynch took over the Broncos offense -- as planned.
Lynch's pro career begins with sack, run play, sack, punt.

His pro career began with some difficulty. He was sacked twice by the Bears in the first series and the Broncos went 3-and-out.

Lynch, the Broncos first round draft pick, is still learning the Broncos playbook and getting comfortable in the Broncos offensive system.
Things got better for Lynch, though.
He wound up throwing 6 completions on 7 attempts, and had 74 yards in the air.
