Broncos come-from-behind to top 49ers in punt-fest, 11-10

Wilson and the Broncos finally got on the board, capping off their first drive of the second quarter with a Brad McManus 55-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 7-3 at halftime. 

The Broncos continued to carve into the 49ers' lead early in the second half after a blunder by Garoppolo. Backed up in their own end, Garoppolo mistakenly stepped out of the back of the endzone for a safety, helping Denver climb to within two points of San Francisco at 7-5. 

Robbie Gould gave the 49ers some breathing room as the third quarter expired, nailing a 51-yard field goal to increase their lead to 10-5 heading into the fourth quarter. 

With the Broncos still trailing 10-5 with just over 10 minutes to go in the fourth, Denver put together their longest drive of the game. Wilson orchestrated a 12-play, 80-yard touchdown drive culminating with a one-yard score by running back Melvin Gordon. 

On the ensuing possession, Garoppolo drove the 49ers down to the Denver 42-yard before a pass intended for wideout Deebo Samuel was tipped and intercepted by Jonas Griffith. 

The 49ers would get one more chance, but Broncos forced a fumble by Jeff Wilson with 1:15 to go, sealing the victory for Denver. 

Denver improves to 2-1 on the season. Next week, the Broncos travel to take on the NFL's only three-loss team, the Las Vegas Raiders, next Sunday.
