Story summary

Kyle Shanahan called for a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1, which failed, leading to a turnover on downs. Brock Purdy overcame an initial slow start but the San Francisco 49ers still managed only three points across seven possessions before taking advantage of injuries to Denver’s starting cornerbacks Patrick Surtain II and Riley Moss. Surtain and Moss were ruled out after getting hurt in the first half, while Pat Bryant was carted off with a leg injury.

The 49ers capitalized on these turnovers, scoring touchdowns on three straight second-half possessions to defeat the Broncos 24-14. Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes and Christian McCaffrey ran for one score as San Francisco improved their record to 4-0. The Broncos (2-2) continued to struggle with slow starts, having scored just 13 points before halftime in four consecutive games.Denver’s sluggishness finally cost them against the unbeaten San Francisco 49ers, and additional issues arose due to key injuries that may affect future performance against upcoming opponents like the Los Angeles Chargers (0-4) and Seattle Seahawks.
