Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:28 GMT

LAS VEGAS — Trey Lance’s first touchdown pass in 363 days never reached its intended receiver. Instead, it nearly got intercepted, and, eventually, it bounced into Ross Dwelley’s sure hands in the end zone.This, of course, is a great city to have luck turn your way.But the 49ers need Lance to be both lucky and good. Otherwise, his potential job as Brock Purdy’s backup will belong to Sam Darnold, who had a pedestrian debut after Lance’s shaky, first-half duty in Sunday’s preseason opener at the Raiders.The 34-7 final marked the most lopsided preseason loss in coach Kyle Shanahan’s seven seasons.San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley (82) scores a touchdown as Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Duke Shelley (23) defends during the first half of an NFL preseason football game, Sunday, Aug. 13, 2023, in Las Vegas.
