49ers defense dominates Denver in 24-15 victory

It was a rocky start for San Francisco 49ers Jimmy Garoppolo. He started 0-4, and a Denver Bronco got their hands on each pass. The first drive ended in an interception, after some miscommunication upfront. Joe Staley thought that he had help inside, but he didn’t. Von Miller was able to force an errant pass that forced an interception.

The offense stalled in their first three drives with Garoppolo. It wasn’t pretty. With backups playing upfront, that’s to be expected. There’s no way to sugarcoat it, Garoppolo didn’t play well, and he knows that.
