Elway Looks Fine in Bronco Victory

John Elway and Terrell Davis teamed up on two early scores, and the Denver Broncos routed the 49ers, 31-17, at Denver in the final exhibition game.

Backup quarterback Jeff Lewis threw two third-quarter touchdown passes to Willie “Flipper” Anderson as Denver (3-2) dominated a San Francisco team plagued by turnovers and defensive lapses the last two preseason games.

The 49ers (1-3) trailed, 31-3, until backup quarterback Jeff Brohm led them to two late scores.

Elway, playing for the first time since rupturing a biceps tendon in his throwing shoulder Aug. 4, was seven for 10 for 51 yards and showed no ill effects from the injury. Davis ran 12 times for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
