Broncos defense faces another major challenge in San Francisco offense

The Denver Broncos defense is preparing for a major test against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers in their Week 4 matchup. Denver aims to slow down a potent San Francisco offense led by quarterback Brock Purdy, running back Christian McCaffrey, and versatile weapons like George Kittle and Deebo Samuel Sr.

Purdy enters the game without having been sacked through the first three weeks, while the 49ers lead the league in third-down efficiency. Broncos head coach Sean Payton, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, and cornerback Pat Surtain II emphasized the critical need to contain McCaffrey's dual-threat production and generate defensive takeaways.
