At 0:47, we see the fifth sack of the game for the Broncos. At 0:47, we see Adam Gotsis — the team’s second round pick — doing some nice work on the interior.

Gotsis just flat out beats the guard to the inside, getting a hand on Hoyer before Hoyer is able to momentarily escape, into the grasp again of the opportunistic rookie Vontarrius Dora, who punches the ball loose from Hoyer’s hands and gives the defense a chance to recover.

The Bears ultimately recovered the fumble, but it was again an excellent inside-outside tandem rush for the Broncos, who only sent four guys here and were able to create a whole lot of problems in the offensive backfield for Chicago.
