Multiple starters are getting their first taste of action--and some new faces are wearing the Broncos uniforms for the first time.

The 49ers opened their preseason with a 30-9 loss against the Denver Broncos from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. While there was some good and bad for the 49ers from the preseason opener, most fans just wanted a look at some of the fresh faces and for San Francisco to get out of the contest mostly in one piece.

Jarrett Stidham threw two TD passes following a lackluster performance from Bo Nix and Denver's starters, and the Broncos beat the San Francisco 49ers 30-9 in the preseason opener Saturday night.
