Key Matchups
Courtland Sutton vs. Richard Sherman
Had the injury to Emmanuel Sanders not occurred, I would have replaced Sutton with Sanders. But now this matchup becomes super important. Sutton has shown that he has the ability to jump up and get passes from Case Keenum if he is able to get the ball up in the air.
It will be weird to see Richard Sherman in a 49ers uniform, but I am looking forward to this matchup. A rookie going up against a big time veteran of the game? Should be fun.
Nick Mullens vs. Broncos pass rush
It will be important for the Broncos pass rush to get to Nick Mullens early and often. While the 49ers quarterback situation has been a bit rough, it will be important for Bradley Chubb and Von Miller to do work against the 49ers if they are going to win this game.
The best pass rushing duo in the league must be able to get to Nick Mullens if they are going to have a chance at winning this game.
X-Factor: Shane Ray
While the Denver Broncos have Von Miller and Bradley Chubb, it will be key that the Broncos can get some more pass rushing from the other linebackers. If Shane Ray is able to get to Mullens at least once during the game, it will help the Broncos in such a big way.
He only has one sack so far this season. so if he can get to the quarterback, it will help in a huge way.
