Broncos 26 Niners 21
Jake Plummer was close to perfect for the Denver Broncos. Tim Rattay, meanwhile, looked more than good enough to keep San Francisco's starting quarterback job in limbo for a while longer. Plummer completed 7 of 9 passes for 95 yards and a score to lift the Broncos to 10 early points en route to a 26-21 preseason victory Saturday night.
Rattay relieved Alex Smith, and for the second straight week easily outplayed the first pick of this year's draft.
