SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Jimmy Garoppolo made his San Francisco debut with 1:07 remaining in the 49ers’ 24-13 loss to Seattle on Sunday.
Garoppolo, acquired from the New England Patriots at the trade deadline last month, entered the game when starting quarterback C.J. Beathard left with an injury on a hit by Michael Bennett. Garoppolo scrambled for a 4 yard gain and found Louis Murphy for a 10-yard touchdown as time expired.
RAIDERS-BRONCOS FIGHT: The feud between Oakland receiver Michael Crabtree and Denver cornerback Aqib Talib spilled over into a new season and led to a full-blown brawl and three ejections on Sunday.
Crabtree has been upset ever since Talib ripped Crabtree’s chain off his neck during the regular-season finale last season.
Crabtree sat out the first meeting this season in Denver with a chest injury, but didn’t wait long to try for revenge in the rematch.
On the second play of Oakland’s second drive, Crabtree aggressively blocked Talib on a running play and drove him to the ground on the Broncos sideline. Talib ripped Crabtree’s chain off his neck while they were tangled up, and a brawl ensued.
COWBOYS: Dallas released running back Darren McFadden, their leading rusher two years ago but an expendable player even with the absence of suspended star running back Ezekiel Elliott.
