From the 49ers weekly
Three to three at halftime. The 49ers had been stopped on fourth and one at the Denver thirty-four on the first snap of the second quarter, and Denver's Allen blocked a fifty-four-yard Pineiro field goal as the half ran out. Then, tied with nine fifty-two left in the third, a 49ers punt from their own eleven went sixty-one yards, Marvin Mims fielded it at the Denver twenty-eight, and San Francisco's Neal forced the fumble and recovered it himself. San Francisco scored nine snaps later, scored twice more in the fourth quarter, and beat the Broncos twenty-four to fourteen at home to go four and oh. Neither offense turned the ball over, and neither quarterback was sacked.
