49ers Beat Broncos in Preseason Opener.

In the 49ers first preseason game, they squeaked out a win 17-16, thanks to their defense. Alex Smith and Shaun Hill were still battling for the starting QB spot, but none of them pulled ahead of each other. For the Broncos, it was their quarterback Kyle Orton's preseason debut. The 49ers made his day a rocky and a bad one. Kyle Orton didn't throw one interception, not two, but three interceptions. The first one was by Nate Clements in the end zone for a touchback. The others were by newly signed corner back Dre Bly and 2nd year safety Reggie Smith.
