The 49ers held on to a 30-27 victory in their home opener Sunday against the Lions, which came to the final moments when Matthew Stafford failed to complete a fourth-down pass to Theo Riddick. Jimmy Garoppolo threw two touchdown passes, Matt Breida had a highlight scoring run and Robbie Gould hit three field goals to give San Francisco their first victory of the season, improving to 1-1.
