Pushed around by the 49ers during Friday’s practice, the Broncos’ offense showed more execution and spunk during Saturday’s session, culminating in a spirited skirmish.
“We had to come out here with an edge to us and not let them set the tempo,” receiver Tim Patrick said.
The brouhaha happened during the second period of 11-on-11 work. Two plays after running back David Williams jawed with several 49ers defenders, things escalated after he finished a carry.
“One person hit me and then a second person hit me and I was like, ‘OK, cool,’” Williams said.
