While the Broncos are believed to be deep on the interior defensive line, they faltered against the 49ers. Eyioma Uwazurike played poorly, rookie third-rounder Sai’vion Jones did well as a pass rusher but was lacking against the run, and Jordan Jackson did little until the 49ers' third-team offensive line took the field.

In the opening possessions, the Broncos defense allowed a touchdown and the offense was caught for intentional grounding in the end zone for a safety. I agree, not great. However, it’s just two series in the first preseason game of the year.
