Winners and losers from the Broncos 21-20 loss to the 49ers

The Denver Broncos had a two-score lead in the fourth quarter against the San Francisco 49ers, but the Broncos third stringers struggled once again as the Broncos lost another one in the final seconds of this game. Former third overall pick Trey Lance led two late fourth-quarter drives, one for a touchdown and another for a last-second game-winning Jake Moody field goal. Ultimately, the Broncos lost their second straight preseason game by the score of 21 to 20.

It was not all bad for the Broncos in this one. The starting offense led a scoring drive in their first drive of the game, Javonte Williams looked good, Jaleel McLaughlin continued his breakout and Brett Maher was perfect.
