Fresh off a thrilling victory over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday night, the Denver Broncos are set to go on the road to face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4. The Broncos will be looking for a third consecutive win after dropping the season opener in Kansas City.
But that won't come easily. The 49ers are undefeated and playing as well as any team in football. For the Broncos to leave with a victory, several things will have to go their way.
So how about some bold predictions? Here are four of them for Sunday's big game.
Broncos vs. 49ers Week 4 bold predictions
1. Broncos register multiple sacks
Through three games, one team has yet to allow a single sack this season: the 49ers. That has helped make life very nice for 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.
It will be imperative for the Broncos to put pressure on him in this
game, and they will be the first team to crack the code against the 49ers' pass protection with not just one sack, but multiple.
2. RJ Harvey is the game's offensive MVP
RJ Harvey is off to a slow start this season following a rookie year in which he found the end zone 12 times. He has carried the ball just five times for 24 yards while catching 10 passes on the season thus far.
Against the 49ers, he will come out of nowhere to have a big game, one that jump-starts the rest of his season. Harvey will come up big in both the running and passing game for the Broncos against the 49ers.
3. Broncos find end zone on opening drive
Much has been made of the Broncos and their slow starts, a trend that dates back to last season. They will look to start a new trend by taking their opening possession down the field for seven points.
4. Talanoa Hufanga seals victory with late turnover
The Broncos will have a lead in the waning moments of the fourth quarter when last week's hero, Talanoa Hufanga, forces a game-winning turnover against his former team. After intercepting two passes last week against the Rams, Hufanga continues his hot streak.
