Sherman undoubtedly was one of the best cornerbacks in league history throughout his 11-year NFL career with the Seattle Seahawks (2011-17), the 49ers (2018-2020) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2021).

The Broncos were well represented on ESPN's All Quarter Century team. But there was one notable omission.

The second time Burrow faced the 49ers was in 2023, and he was nearly perfect in that game. He completed 28 of 32 passes for 283 yards, 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He embarrassed the 49ers.

For years, the player who had the 49ers' number more than anyone else was Russell Wilson. In his career, he has won 18 of 21 starts against the 49ers and one of those came when he was on the Broncos.

Since 2020, the player who has had the most success against the 49ers is Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Follow us on: X (Twitter), Facebook, Threads, Bluesky ...
