In a decisive preseason matchup, the Denver Broncos triumphed over the San Francisco 49ers with a score of 30-9. While the Broncos celebrated their victory, head coach Sean Payton expressed frustration over the sluggish performance of the starting offense. Despite the struggles of key players like quarterback Bo Nix, who had a quiet start, the backup team showed resilience and drove the team to victory. The 49ers, on the other hand, faced scrutiny after a sloppy display, with coach Kyle Shanahan vocal about his disappointment and provided several injury updates. Standout performances included undrafted DT Sebastian Valdez, who outshone more recognized teammates, and a strong showing from some rookies. The match highlighted the challenges both teams face as they prepare for the regular season.
