Welcome to the NFL: Lance throws TD on first pass for 49ers originally appeared on NBC Sports Northwest
One pass, one touchdown.
Trey Lance‘s start to his NFL career couldn’t have gone much better. Kyle Shanahan unveiled the 49ers’ two-QB system Sunday in Detroit and it was executed to perfection against the Lions.
Lance entered the game for Jimmy Garoppolo on second-and-9 from the 16-yard line and rushed up the middle for 1 yard. He then entered again three plays later and perfectly hit receiver Trent Sherfield for a 5-yard pass touchdown, giving the 49ers an early 6-0 lead.
