Live Box Score
The San Francisco 49ers take on the Denver Broncos tonight in preseason Week 2. Keep it here for live score updates, highlights, stats and analysis throughout the game.
The focus for both teams will be on the quarterback position as neither team has named a starter. Blaine Gabbert will get the start for the 49ers. Gabbert is competing with Colin Kaepernick to run Chip Kelly’s offense.
On the Denver side, Trevor Siemian will start tonight. Both Mark Sanchez and rookie Paxton Lynch are expected to take snaps as well. Siemian and Sanchez are competing for the starting position, but Lynch showed flashes of his potential in his NFL debut last week.
Here’s what has happened so far.

They both went 10-of-14 but made costly turnovers. Siemian threw a pick-6 while Sanchez had two fumbles. The offense also sputtered the first two possessions with Lynch in the game in the third quarter. With less than a month before the regular season starts, no quarterback has emerged yet as the favorite to win the starting job.
Carlos Hyde Scored on a 4-Yard Touchdown
The 49ers came out in a shotgun formation near the goal line. Blaine Gabbert gave the ball to Carlos Hyde on a read option play, and Hyde ran it into the endzone for a 4-yard touchdown.
Eric Reid Scored on a Pick-6
It was not the kind of start Trevor Siemian wanted. Early in the second quarter he was intercepted by Eric Reid, and Reid ran it back for a touchdown. Siemian is battling Mark Sanchez for the starting position.
C.J. Anderson Scored on a 19-Yard Touchdown Run
Anderson ran through the 49ers defense making a couple nice cuts on his 19-yard touchdown run on the opening possession of the game. Anderson got off to a slow start last season, but finished strong the last two months of the season.
