Melvin Gordon scored from a yard out and Kareem Jackson recovered a fumble in the closing minutes Sunday night to secure Denver’s 11-10 win over Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers.
Russell Wilson again struggled to get the Broncos offense humming. The Broncos went three-and-out nine times and Denver’s only sustained drive was an 80-yarder over 12 plays that Gordon capped with his 1-yard TD.
Garoppolo threw a touchdown pass and was intercepted in his first start in place of injured starter Trey Lance, who broke an ankle in Week 2.
