Or at least darn close. Manning threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Julius Thomas and dominated in his two series, leading the Denver Broncos past the San Francisco 49ers 34-0 on Sunday to spoil the NFL debut at sparkling $1.2 billion Levi’s Stadium. “It’s been a good start. That’s all it is, though,” Manning said. “We’ve still got some things we have to improve on.” The 38-year-old Manning, beginning his 17th season after throwing for an NFL-record 55 touchdowns last year, completed 12 of 14 passes for 102 yards and a 120.8 rating. He was 8 for 8 on Denver’s second drive, then backup Brock Osweiler took over and threw for a score and led another touchdown drive in a preseason matchup of the past two Super Bowl losers. Colin Kaepernick went 5 for 9 for 39 yards in his two series before a sellout crowd at the team’s flashy new digs in the heart of Silicon Valley. Major League Soccer’s San Jose Earthquakes beat the Seattle Sounders in the stadium’s first sporting event Aug. 1. Demaryius Thomas had three catches on Denver’s opening drive, including a 20-yard gain. That gives Thomas 10 receptions for 89 yards in Denver’s two victories against the NFC West’s powerhouses, the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco. “Coming off last year, losing the Super Bowl like we did, coming into OTAs I think everybody had a different mindset,” Demaryius Thomas said. “You can see it with older guys, new guys. Our main thing was going out and being able to convert, and as a defense stop guys. If we’re going to be stopped, we’re going to stop ourselves.” C.J. Anderson ran for a 1-yard TD, while Matt Prater kicked a 26-yard field goal and Mitch Ewald added a late 22-yarder. San Francisco’s typically spot-on Phil Dawson sailed two long kicks wide right. Denver did it on defense, too, getting two interceptions and a fumble recovery and a goal-line stand to end the game. The Broncos recovered another fumble on special teams. “It was a great moment for our defense,” defensive lineman Marvin Austin said. “It’s real hard to put up a goose egg in a preseason game.” The 49ers lost safety Antoine Bethea to a concussion early in the second quarter. He was able to walk off on his own, but later left for the locker room. Denver linebacker Lamin Barrow limped off early in the second half with a lower leg injury, then the Broncos lost tight end Gerrell Robinson to a knee injury. As San Francisco struggled in all phases, tens of thousands of fans made their way out midway through the third quarter — certainly helping to alleviate traffic concerns. The 49ers ended a four-decade run at Candlestick Park last season. “We have to tighten this down fast,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. “We have work to do, there’s no doubt about it.” By Janie McCauley The Associated Press MailTribune.com By Janie McCauley The Associated Press Posted Aug. 17, 2014 @ 5:50 pm Updated Aug 18, 2014 at 7:21 AM »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. fantasy football Players Who Will Have Bounce Back Fantasy Years  Aug. 19, 2014 at 1:27 pm Fantasy Football 2014: 1st-Round Mock Draft and Updated Player Rankings  Aug. 19, 2014 at 12:00 pm Exploring Draft Strategies, Team Names and Sleepers  Aug. 19, 2014 at 7:00 am Fantasy QB Risers, Sleepers and Risks  Aug. 19, 2014 at 6:12 am D-Jax's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Game vs. Browns  Aug. 19, 2014 at 12:58 am Tate's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Game vs. Skins  Aug. 18, 2014 at 11:47 pm calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed   Email newsletter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
