Sloppy. Ugly. Difficult to watch.
And if words can’t describe the 49ers’ Week 3 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High, perhaps numbers can.
11-10.

That was the final score of what was supposed to be a Sunday Night Football showdown between familiar QBs in Jimmy Garoppolo and Russell Wilson-led teams -- but it was far from it.
Just moments after NFL Twitter absolutely grilled Garoppolo for stepping out of the back of the end zone for a safety in true Dan Orlovsky fashion, social media had a field day with the end result.

Turnovers, a safety, and going 1-for-10 on third down haunted San Francisco and made all the difference in an 11-10 game.
The bizarre matchup was just the second in NFL history to result in an 11-10 score. The first one wasn’t too long ago, and it was equally as strange as this one.
In 2008, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the San Diego Chargers, 11-10, but it was discovered after the game that the officials failed to give Pittsburgh a late defensive touchdown.
The score clearly should have been 17-10.

Another wild statistic?
Out of all major professional sports teams to play a Sunday game in Denver, the 49ers and Broncos made it in the top four based on points scored. The other two are baseball teams.
The 49ers fell to 1-2 and will have some time to get right before a Monday Night Football NFC West clash against the Los Angeles Rams at Levi's Stadium.
Hopefully, this one won't disappoint.
