The 49ers blew a 10-point lead to suffer a 19-10 defeat in Chicago in Week 1, but were able to get their first win board a week later.

Russell Wilson finished just 14/31 for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception in another poor showing.
Courtland Sutton was on the receiving end of seven of those catches as he led the team with 122 yards receiving.
RBs Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon combined for 122 rushing yards but neither man found the endzone.
Denver desperately need improvement on offense, with big offseason signing Wilson now just 43/73 for 559 yards, two TDs and one pick through two games.
Sutton is the team’s leading receiver with 194 yards, while Jerry Jeudy has 113 yards and a score.
