Hoyer completed 7-of-10 passes for 81 yards and an interception Thursday against the Broncos.
Hoyer entered the game in the second quarter after the starters exited, but he endured the same fate as Jay Cutler, as he was constantly on the run from defenders. Despite the pressure, he did well to complete 70 percent of his passes, but he was also sacked three times while having the one pass picked off. The sacks were clearly not his fault, as the pressure was immediately upon him, and he had little chance to get out of the pocket to throw the ball away. Should Cutler miss regular-season games, he'd be one of the better backup options in the NFL.
