On the SF 49ers by David Zizmor:

#1 David Trey Lance had a better game under center against the Denver Broncos on Saturday going 12-18 for 173 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He looked like he got more traction in this outing.

#2 There was some doubt about Lance after his first pre season game against the Las Vegas Raiders bringing talk about shopping him to not making the team but all it took was one game to get back in everybody’s good graces.

#3 Brock Purdy looked like he hadn’t missed a step upon his return Saturday going 4-5 for 65 yards and had a 69 yard opening drive on ten plays that set up a kicker Jake Moody field goal good enough for 20 yards.
