Brock Purdy starts and Trey Lance finishes; 49ers beat Broncos 21-20

The San Francisco 49ers came from behind to beat the Denver Broncos 21-20 in their preseason home opener at Levi’s Stadium on Saturday night.

Here is what stood out from the game.

Brock Purdy

During the offseason many questioned whether Purdy would be ready to start week one for the 49ers in Pittsburgh.

The 49ers quarterback made it back in time for training camp and made his first start since tearing the UCL in his throwing arm in the NFC Championship Game on Saturday night.

Kyle Shanahan didn’t take it easy on Purdy by calling seven passes, opening with four passes in a row, during the nine play drive.
