49ers vs. Broncos: 3 defensive threats San Francisco must account for

49ers Webzone highlights three key Denver Broncos defenders that the undefeated San Francisco 49ers must account for in Week 4: safety Talanoa Hufanga, defensive lineman Zach Allen, and cornerback Patrick Surtain II. The analysis follows Denver's 30-26 comeback victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, where the defense catalyzed a second-half turnaround.

The preview emphasizes Hufanga's familiarity with San Francisco's offense following four seasons with the 49ers. Additionally, Allen's interior pass rush poses a threat to quarterback Brock Purdy's pocket, while Surtain's shutdown coverage allows defensive coordinator Vance Joseph to focus extra resources on stopping Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.
