Sunday night’s game between the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos was quite a snoozer, and the style of game felt very familiar to many football fans.
The Broncos beat the 49ers 11-10 in a game that featured just one touchdown and 17 punts. That’s the type of game college football fans are used to watching from a couple of Big Ten teams.
Take a look at all the jokes fans were making comparing the Sunday night game to a Big Ten game, especially one featuring Iowa.
I thought the Big Ten’s NBC deal didn’t start for another two years

NBC wants Big Ten football so badly it’s told the 49ers and Broncos to do an Iowa-Rutgers impression on Sunday night.

This Sunday Night game feels like a classic big ten football match. Just punting and more punting.

Denver managed to come out ahead in the scrappy game. At 2-1, they’re well on their way to a spot in the Quick Lane Bowl.
That was some superior punting from Corliss Waitman and Mitch Wishnowsky.
