Looks like he wanted to go outside but saw the chip coming and just put his head down and bull rushed.

But the LT re-set and the pocket didn't do anything. Willie Roaf would give a bull-rusher a step, that's just smart OL play (no need to stand a guy straight up) and someone with a running start against a dude in a backpedal is always going to push back the other guy a bit.
But the OL re-anchored and held him with no real risk to the QB. Minshew dropped back on the hash and never had to even consider vacating it (not from his blind side anyway). That's a clear win by the OT.
And I know that Clark's more of a 'set up' rusher in that he'll use that bull rush to get guys to behave a certain way and set them up for a hump or a rip move later. But even still, Clark quit on that rep once he got stopped. The bull-rush is a part of every down lineman's arsenal but once it's stopped, it's time to try something else to keep advancing. Clark didn't - that's the 'counter move' thing you want to see from developing pass-rushers and Clark doesn't even attempt one there.
