The Denver Broncos will host the San Francisco 49ers for the 40th time in the preseason today. Both teams have a surprisingly similar make-up on offense too, with Broncos’ Offensive Coordinator Rich Scangarello coming from the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree.

It is on defense where these two teams might diverge. Head Coach Vic Fangio and Defensive Coordinator Ed Donatell have great rapport and don’t even have to communicate at times as both will know exactly what the other wants in any given situation.
