The San Francisco 49ers did what they needed on Sunday to defeat the Seattle Seahawks 27-7 at Levi’s Stadium.
After dropping the season opener in Chicago, the 49ers lost their starting quarterback on the second offensive possession against Seattle. The injury occurred on the fifth offensive play of the second offensive possession for San Francisco.
It was second and eight from the Seahawks 21 when Kyle Shanahan called a zone read, and Lance chose to keep the ball and run it himself. Just two plays earlier, Shanahan had called the same play, and Lance gave it to Deebo Samuel, who ran around the right side for a gain of 51.
