DENVER – There’s no quit in the San Francisco 49ers. Trailing 24-10 at the half to the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium, San Francisco’s reserves held Denver out of the end zone for the game’s final 30 minutes and scored 19 unanswered points to beat the Broncos 29-24 on the road.
Faithful fans dressed in 49ers red and gold certainly appreciated it.
After newly signed 49ers linebacker Kenny Rowe recorded a sack late in the fourth quarter to put an end to Denver’s chances of driving the field for a go-ahead score, 49ers fans yelled out Jim Harbaugh’s trademark saying, “Who’s got it better than us? Nobody!”
The paying customers saw a valiant comeback from their beloved team. Despite being outgained in yardage 348-304, San Francisco showed its mettle in a physical matchup, one with many reserve players fighting for spots on their teams’ respective 53-man rosters.
“It was a good, hard-working game,” Harbaugh said after his team improved to 2-1 in the preseason. “It wasn’t perfect, but we worked hard… A lot of guys made a statement for themselves today.”
No matter the “spotty” start by the 49ers according to Harbaugh, the team rebounded for a road win against a quality opponent.
“It says a lot about the character of the guys we have on this team,” said tight end Vernon Davis. “They kept us in the game. We have a lot of guys with high character and that’s what we need, guys who want to win and can help contribute to what we’re trying to do on this team. “
