1:00: On the next play, Orton fakes the handoff and tries to find Daniel Graham in the end zone, but the pass is intercepted by Nate Clements. Clements takes a knee in the end zone to set up a first down for the 49ers at the 20-yard line. Alex Smith is now in at quarterback for San Francisco.
1:50: Jordan takes the handoff on first down, picking up a yard to set up second-and-goal from the 3-yard line.

2:43: On 2nd-and-10, Orton takes the snap with Buckhalter in the backfield. He gets the ball to Chad Jackson on a pass to the right sideline near the first-down marker. The refs indicate it's a gain of nine yards, setting up 3rd-and-1 at the 11-yard line.
2:50: On first down, Orton drops back and tries to get it to Gaffney, but the pass is broken up.

4:36: Denver takes its first timeout with a 1st-and-5 at the 49ers 44-yard line. Orton is in the shotgun and LaMont Jordan goes in motion out wide. Orton takes the snap, drops back and gets it to Jordan near the right sideline for the first down.
4:40: Orton throws a quick pass to Royal, who dropped back to receive the bubble screen. Clady sprints out to spring Royal with a big block, and Royal picks up a big gain. There's a flag on the play, however -- offsides on the defense. So it's 1st-and-5.
5:40: Buckhalter takes the carry on the next play and picks up the first down. He's brought down by Takeo Spikes. Now the Broncos have a first down at the San Francisco 49-yard line.

8:55: Coffee takes the second-down run and picks up 15 yards, setting up 3rd-and-3. The Broncos swallow up the next play in the backfield -- Peterson was right there to make the tackle and set up the fourth down.
10:00: On first down, Hill drops back and looks left -- meanwhile Haggan comes streaking in from the right side of the line and sacks the quarterback, stripping the ball in the process, but the ref signals that Hill was already down before the ball came out. Regardless, it's now 2nd-and-18 for the 49ers and the Broncos already have two sacks.
10:37: The defense clogs up the middle for a short gain, but Glen Coffee still picks up the necessary yard for a 49ers first down.
