Here’s our report card from the 49ers’ third win of the season Sunday, 20-14 over the Denver Broncos.
Passing offense: B
Quarterback Nick Mullens passed for 271 yards in the first half, with 210 going to tight end George Kittle, including an 85-yard touchdown catch and run. It was Kittle’s third reception of at least 70 yards this season. His 200-yard performance was the eighth in team history, and he did it with seven catches. But the passing game slowed in the second half. Receiver Trent Taylor dropped a ball that went right to Darian Stewart for an interception, and Dante Pettis dropped an easy third-down pass.
