49ers ........................ 27 Seahawks .................. 7

Jimmy Garoppolo threw a touchdown pass on his first full drive after replacing an injured Trey Lance and ran for another score to help San Francisco beat Seattle.

The 49ers’ surprising decision to keep Garoppolo on a reduced contract paid immediate dividends, as the veteran quarterback reclaimed the job he held for most of the last four seasons. He completed his first five passes in his first game since last season’s NFC title game, including a 38-yard touchdown to Ross Dwelley that put San Francisco ahead 13-0.

Russell Wilson overcame a slow start and a cascade of boos in his debut in Denver to lead his sloppy team to a narrow victory.

The Broncos were flagged 13 times for 100 yards, marking the first time in four years they’ve had back-to-back games with double-digit penalties.

After completing just six of his first 20 throws, Wilson was four for four on the goahead scoring drive that featured a 35-yard strike to Courtland Sutton and a 22-yard payoff to Eric Saubert that put Denver ahead 13-9 early in the fourth quarter.
