The 49ers become 1st team in 21 years to allow no sacks in 1st 4 games

The San Francisco 49ers have made history by becoming the first team in 21 years to allow no sacks in their first four games of the season, defeating the Denver Broncos 24-14. This impressive defensive performance, led by the offensive line, follows two late-season losses to Seattle last year. Left tackle Trent Williams expressed confidence in the team's talent and ability to be one of the best offensive lines in the league.

Quarterback Brock Purdy praised the protection provided by the offensive line, stating, "I’m extremely blessed." Tight end George Kittle, who returned from Achilles tendon surgery, had a strong performance, leading all tight ends with four catches for 70 yards and a touchdown. Coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized the team's collective effort and the importance of the defense in their early success.

The 49ers will face the Seattle Seahawks next, a team that has sacked Purdy five times in recent games.
