That. Was. Ugly.
The 49ers scored on their second possession, and it felt like they’d be in control for the rest of the game the way the defense had begun the game. Instead, the next four possessions were punts from both teams before Denver kicked a field goal to make it 7-3.
I’m still in the belief that Kyle Shanahan shouldn’t have declined a third-down holding call to force Denver to pick up additional yardage. There would be five straight punts before the 49ers got the ball on a short field, only for Jimmy Garoppolo to fumble a snap from Jake Brendel.
