Overview
- The 49ers will seek to remain undefeated when they host the Broncos in Week 4 at Levi's Stadium on Sunday.
- San Francisco's offense has been elite through three games, posting the league's top EPA per play and relying on Brock Purdy's high completion rate and +0.63 EPA per dropback to create big gains.
- Denver's defense shows clear strengths on the edges and in outside coverage from Patrick Surtain II but has obvious flaws in linebacker coverage, where Alex Singleton has been repeatedly targeted and graded poorly.
- Pre-game commentary from 49ers players emphasized the matchup narratives: Fred Warner praised Bo Nix's poise and playmaking, and Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week after a multi-turnover performance.
- Game plans are expected to reflect those scouting takes, with Kyle Shanahan likely to scheme to force throws over Singleton and with Denver needing faster starts and turnover plays to keep the game close late.
