Trey Lance throws first touchdown of 49ers' season, Goff tosses pick-6

DETROIT -- It took all of two regular-season snaps for San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance to throw his first professional touchdown pass.

After the 49ers' first possession ended after just one play because of a botched center exchange, the Niners quickly gained traction on their second series. On the heels of a third-down completion from starter Jimmy Garoppolo to receiver Mohamed Sanu for a first down at Detroit's 5, Lance entered the game for the second play of his young career.

Lance took the snap and found wideout Trent Sherfield wide open in the left flat after faking a handoff.
