Broncos fall 24-14 to 49ers in Week 4 matchup

The Denver Broncos lost 24-14 to the San Francisco 49ers on October 4, 2026, in Santa Clara, California. The game remained competitive through three quarters, but the 49ers pulled ahead in the second half, leaving the Broncos with their second loss of the season. Despite a solid defensive effort early on, the Broncos' offense struggled with only 32 rushing yards in the first half and failed to provide support, leading to a wear-down effect on defense. The Broncos also faced injury setbacks with key players Patrick Surtain II, Riley Moss, and Pat Bryant leaving the game, prompting concerns about their availability moving forward. Denver now stands at 2-2 this season.
