If you blinked, you might have missed a quarterback switch by the San Francisco 49ers. Garoppolo and Lance spent the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders subbing out for the other, and each quarterback scored a rushing touchdown on early drives. It was a potential preview of a plan that could prove to be confusing and frustrating for opposing defenses this season.
Garoppolo was the first to score, scrambling to his right for the one-yard touchdown, capping off a 10-play drive that started at the 49ers' 32-yard line.
Later, it was Lance's turn. The rookie scored on a two-yard run that capped off a 14-play, 80-yard drive.
