3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance completed 16 of 23 pass attempts for 249 yards, two touchdowns, and a touchdown during a 23-7 Week 17 win over the Houston Texans. The rookie quarterback earned his second start with Jimmy Garoppolo sidelined due to a thumb injury. After a slow start, Lance eased into the starting role, dialing up a 45-yard touchdown pass to Deebo Samuel to expand the lead to ten points. Lance added eight carries for 31 yards on the ground and threw an eight-yard touchdown reception to fellow rookie Elijah Mitchell. He performed well in a must-win game against a fairly bad Houston defense but rumors of Garoppolo returning in Week 18 could thrust him back onto the sidelines against the Los Angeles Rams.--Matt MacKay - RotoBaller
