Broncos will have extreme heat to contend with vs. 49ers

The Denver Broncos are preparing for a challenging Week 4 away game against the San Francisco 49ers, where kickoff temperatures are projected to reach the mid to low nineties. Head coach Sean Payton acknowledged the unusual heat, noting that the team is assembling logistical plans to manage the extreme conditions.

Historically, the franchise has rarely encountered such high temperatures, with only a 2024 matchup in Tampa reaching eighty-five degrees and a recent season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs exceeding ninety degrees. Analysts suggest that if the offensive unit fails to sustain drives and control time of possession, the visiting defense may struggle to maintain stamina throughout the contest.

In addition to the upcoming weather hurdle, the squad has been grappling with early season struggles linked to the offensive line and running backs, alongside persistent issues with slow starts that date back to the previous year.
