3 winners (and 3 losers) from 49ers' preseason opener vs. Broncos

The San Francisco 49ers' first exhibition game of 2025 is in the books with the Niners winning/losing over/to the visiting Denver Broncos by a score of 30-9.

It's just preseason, and there aren't too many takeaways about the final score, schemes and which players got the most snaps (or not).

But, the preseason opener nevertheless revealed some clear-cut winners and losers for head coach Kyle Shanahan's squad.

One might argue Niners third-string quarterback Carter Bradley, who took over for Mac Jones after the first quarter, should be called out as a loser after going 6-of-14 for 32 yards and an interception.
