Trey Lance exited with a serious ankle injury and Jimmy Garoppolo entered to engineer the 49ers’ home-opening win over the Seattle Seahawks.
SANTA CLARA – Jimmy Garoppolo wore a red ballcap, crouched on the 49ers sideline, and watched from afar as Trey Lance huddled the offense to start Sunday’s home opener.
Most figured the only way Garoppolo would reclaim his job was through a Lance injury. For that to happen so early in the season, so early in the 49ers’ home opener, in such gruesome fashion, it was a seismic shift that reverberated throughout the NFL. Garoppolo iced Sunday’s win with a 1-yard, fourth-and-goal touchdown dive with 1:51 remaining, after a daring third-down run saw him collide with right tackle Mike McGlinchey’s knee just short of the goal line.
At halftime, Garoppolo headed into that locker room with his red cap back on, but with his helmet in his left hand, ready for more action and his first win since playoff wins at Dallas and Green Bay, as well as the regular-season finale at the eventual Super Bowl-champion Los Angeles Rams.
Seattle’s response: Geno Smith threw a high pass that Talanoa Hufanga tipped to fellow safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. for an interception at midfield, 9:53 before halftime. That takeaway produced no points, but then came more interceptions – one by Fred Warner that got nullified by an Emmanuel Moseley pass-interference penalty, and one in the end zone by Mooney Ward on a halfback-option duck from running back DeeJay Dallas.
