Broncos and 49ers Reach Seven Wins After Wild Weekend

The 49ers looked great against the Raiders, whose offense offered little help for Brock Bowers. Despite facing the NFL’s top-ranked tight end defense, Bowers still recorded 111 receiving yards. He is a great talent on a very bad football team.

It was a huge win for San Francisco, which improved to 7-1 coming off its bye. The 49ers now have seven wins, more than any other team in the NFC.

Denver survived a tight finish against the Panthers. The Broncos have become the cardiac kids, earning 16 consecutive one-score victories to set a new NFL record. Whether at home or on the road, they continue to play close, crazy games.

The Broncos improved to 7-2 and are the only AFC team with seven wins. Buffalo currently holds the No. 1 seed and will retain it with a win tonight. A Bills loss would leave Denver at 7-2 and Buffalo at 6-2, moving the Broncos into the top spot.

There is still a long way to go before playoff seeding truly matters, but Denver and San Francisco lead their respective conferences in wins after a very interesting weekend.
