(He also hauled in a 45-yard reception that was erased by left tackle Garett Bolles\u2019 holding penalty).<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Garoppolo went just 1 for 6 for zero yards and an interception in his first game since suffering a season-ending knee injury last September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Garoppolo\u2019s first pass was knocked down by defensive lineman Shelby Harris and his second one was intercepted by cornerback Isaac Yiadom when he was pressured by Bradley Chubb. His third pass was tipped and cornerback De\u2019Vante Bausby broke up his fourth attempt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Chris Harris Jr. pressured Garoppolo into an incompletion from his end zone before Garoppolo finally completed a screen pass to running back Matt Breida, who was corralled by Shelby Harris at the San Francisco 6 for no gain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens shared most of the snaps behind Garoppolo, and Wilton Speight finished up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Flacco finished 7 of 11 for 59 yards and Lock was 7 of 12 for 40 yards when he got hurt. Lock was replaced by Kevin Hogan, who was intercepted by Dontae Johnson when his pass went through RB David Williams\u2019 hands and off the face mask at the Denver 11 late in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Brandon McManus\u2019 three field goals put Denver ahead 9-3 at the half. Raheem Mostert\u2019s 30-yard TD run was the first of three straight TDs for San Francisco before Hogan\u2019s 24-yard scoring run late in the game after Speight\u2019s fumble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">INJURIES: Broncos first-rounder Noah Fant injured his right foot when DB Tarvarius Moore fell on him in the second quarter. DL Damontre Moore (thumb) and FS Adrian Colbert (hamstring) were among the 49ers hurt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">49ers: Play at the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Broncos: Play at the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/arniestapleton\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/arniestapleton<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP NFL: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/tag\/NFL\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/tag\/NFL<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94NFL\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014NFL<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/sanders-shines-in-broncos-24-15-loss-to-49ers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (10) runs after the catch against the San Francisco 49ers during an NFL preseason football game, Monday, Aug. 19, 2019, in Denver.
