| (MySportsbook) - The sting of missing the postseason didn't last very long for the Denver Broncos, because they soon had an infinitely greater loss to ponder. Mere hours after the Broncos were eliminated from playoff contention with Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Denver starting cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting outside a Denver nightclub. He was just 24 years old. In his second season with the club, the second-round draft pick out of Oklahoma |

| (MySportsbook) - Nothing came easy for San Francisco this season, not even its season-ending win over the Denver Broncos in overtime. However, once Joe Nedney's 36-yard field goal try with 1:56 left in the extra quarter was true, it capped an encouraging season for the 7-9 49ers. While the game meant little for the Nines other than pride, the win did knock Denver out of the playoffs. "Big win for us," San Francisco coach Mike Nolan said. "A win on the road.
