What a defensive battle that was on Sunday Night Football. The San Francisco 49ers got that early touchdown midway through the first quarter, then neither team would score another touchdown until the Denver Broncos did it late in the fourth quarter to inch past them for an 11-10 lead that would ultimately be the final.
While most fans today love the offensive-style shootouts, nothing quite hits for me like one of these types of defensive slugfests. Of course, my mood would have been spoiled had the 49ers won instead, but they didn’t so I can enjoy this fully.
