In a commanding performance, the Denver Broncos topped the San Francisco 49ers 41-20 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. With this victory, the Broncos solidify their position in the playoff race, while the 49ers face a tough road ahead to regain momentum. The Broncos' offense was firing on all cylinders, led by quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., who threw for two touchdowns, and running back Demond Claiborne, who racked up an impressive 140 rushing yards. Despite a strong showing from 49ers quarterback Joe Burrow, who passed for 282 yards, the Denver offense proved too potent to contain. Defensively, the Broncos made pivotal plays that swayed the game in their favor, highlighted by Jeremy Chinn’s critical interception and four total tackles. The turning point came in the second quarter when Chinn's interception halted a promising San Francisco drive, allowing the Broncos to extend their lead and seize control of the game. With Josh Sweat of the 49ers applying pressure with two sacks, it was ultimately Denver’s ability to capitalize on defensive opportunities that sealed the win.
