49ers Are 4-0 & STILL No Sacks Allowed — Now Comes Seattle

It’s another Victory Monday on Niners Talk, as John, Tim and Brian break down San Francisco’s hard-fought 24-14 win over the Denver Broncos — arguably the toughest opponent the Niners have faced this season.

This one wasn’t easy.

Denver’s defense frustrated Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy throughout the first half, sending the teams into halftime tied 3-3. But a huge special-teams turnover changed everything, the offense finally came alive, and George Kittle slammed the door with a spectacular 56-yard touchdown.

And the trends through four games are becoming impossible to ignore.

The offensive line has yet to surrender a sack. The offense is avoiding negative plays. The defense continues to prevent explosive plays. Special teams has transformed from a liability into a legitimate weapon. And against Denver, San Francisco committed just one meaningful penalty while finding a way to win a game that could easily have gone the other direction.

The guys break down Dre Greenlaw’s revenge game against his former team, Mike Evans gutting it out through a painful rib injury, Deebo Samuel looking like the Deebo of old, Kyle Shanahan’s questionable fourth-down decision, and the special-teams fumble that completely changed the game.

Then there’s George Kittle.

With Denver pulling within three points late in the fourth quarter, Shanahan dialed up the perfect call. Kittle caught the screen, turned on the jets and took it 56 yards to the house, reportedly approaching 20 mph as he put Denver away.

But there’s no time to celebrate for long.

Next up: Seattle.

The defending champs. Lumen Field. One of the NFL’s best defenses. A vicious pass rush. An offense featuring a red-hot Jaxon Smith-Njigba. And a rivalry that has produced plenty of scars for Niners fans.

The 49ers are 4-0.

The Seahawks are waiting.
