To his credit, Lance [took ownership of his mistakes](https://www.nfl.com/news/49ers-qb-trey-lance-after-loss-to-bears-i-have-a-lot-of-stuff-to-clean-up) after the loss, but the growth he looked to achieve going forward will have to wait another season.

In the process, Garoppolo has a chance to earn back a large chunk of the money he gave up in the reworked contract he did with the Niners on Aug. In fact, Garoppolo earned an extra $350,000 on Sunday, $250,000 for playing at least 25% of the snaps and $100,000 for the win. [Ray-Ray McCloud](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3728262/ray-ray-mccloud-iii) or keep it himself and run it up the middle. Garoppolo looked healthy and comfortable right away, completing 8 of 11 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown in the first half after replacing Lance. Despite not taking any reps with the starting offense since January and not participating in practice or meetings through all of training camp while he rehabbed his surgically repaired right shoulder, Garoppolo said getting back under center for the Niners was "like riding a bike." "But that's something we were going to do and something we were going to continue to do. That small sample of playing and getting hurt was a significant factor in the Niners' decision to bring back Garoppolo. Backup [Jimmy Garoppolo](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/16760/jimmy-garoppolo) replaced Lance and finished the game, as he reassumes starting duties with Lance now out. Unfortunately, it happened to him on that play and we're praying for him and hope he just gets better." Lance chose the latter and, after gaining 2 yards, collided with Seahawks linebacker [Cody Barton](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3926229/cody-barton). "It's a haunting moment for anybody that's on the football field, and it can happen to anybody. You've got to get right back to the game, and the guys did a real good job of that.

Dramatic twist in NFL QB saga as young gun 'out for season' as call to keep maligned star pays off.

Garoppolo came into Sunday’s game after Lance suffered an injury.The 49ers traded up to select Lance with the No. Lance won the starting job over veteran quarterback and Tom Brady’s former backup, Jimmy Garoppolo, this offseason – one season after Garoppolo led the Niners to the NFC Championship game. It was widely anticipated that the team would trade Garoppolo during the offseason, but the two sides agreed to a reworked contract that kept him as Lance’s backup entering the 2022 season.

Lance, in his first season after usurping Garoppolo for the 49ers' starting quarterback job, was hurt while running with the ball against the Seahawks.

Garoppolo entered Sunday with a 33-14 record as a starter for the 49ers. That kind of scenario, though, would normally emerge in case of a major injury to a starting quarterback, and in this case it may be the 49ers themselves in sudden need of Garoppolo’s long-term services. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance was taken off the field on a cart Sunday after suffering an injury against the Seattle Seahawks.

Trey Lance's injury proves 49ers made NFL's best offseason 'move ... (Sporting News AU)

Call it good fortune or smart foresight, but the 49ers' decision to not trade or release Jimmy Garoppolo is saving their 2022 NFL season.

But in the end, Shanahan and Lynch's golden foresight turned out to be fortuitous and an amazing positive for the franchise after what could have been a devastating loss. The 49ers have the scheme and support system to give any passer (or runner) a high floor. That said, the 49ers also knew a repeat of Nick Mullens or C.J. The 49ers know they can get to the NFC championship and Super Bowl with Garoppolo instead of Lance — the evidence is two of the past three seasons. Last week, when Dak Prescott went down for the Cowboys, Garoppolo was no longer in play to help another NFC contending team because of a mutual no-trade clause. But unlike most NFL teams that suffer that kind of injury, they could quickly pick up the pieces and go full speed ahead with their offense.

Trey Lance's heartbreaking injury and the quarterback the 49ers just ... (The Guardian)

Jimmy Garoppolo looked like he was on his way out of San Francisco earlier this year. Now he will be leading his team once again.

[the history between the two players](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34618122/tampa-bay-buccaneers-mike-evans-new-orleans-saints-marshon-lattimore-ejected-brawl). The Raiders fell to 0-2 in a very brutal fashion, but that’s OK, it was still [a pretty special day](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/sep/18/aces-win-wnba-title-to-land-las-vegas-first-major-pro-sports-title) for Las Vegas sports. [a fumble recovery](https://twitter.com/SportsGrid/status/1571650402613067776). Right now the best quarterback in Florida may not be the one the Dolphins were reportedly [eyeing in the offseason](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/apr/15/tom-brady-miami-dolphins-rumor). [by some of the snarkier members of the media](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/sep/08/nfl-2022-predictions-football-new-season) – on the field against the Seattle Seahawks in the first quarter. Perhaps [his heart is elsewhere](https://defector.com/tom-brady-is-quiet-quitting/). Meanwhile, the Jaguars have won their first game of the season with just their third shutout in the last 15 years. While Burrow has emerged as one of the most dangerous QBs in the league, the one knock on his game has been his propensity for taking sacks. [bet on himself and winning](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/sep/15/lamar-jackson-contract-extension-baltimore-ravens-nfl-football): he threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another, putting together a combined 437 yards. While the 49ers were criticized for handing backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo a guaranteed one-year deal in the offseason rather than trading him for whatever they could get, the move may have saved their season after Trey Lance [went down with a broken ankle](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34618676/san-francisco-49ers-trey-lance-carted-ankle-injury-jimmy-garoppolo-comes-seattle-seahawks) on Sunday. So, the 49ers decided to be conservative, took their fair share of criticism and now have apparently been rewarded (albeit in the cruelest manner possible). Unfortunately for him, Tagovailoa (with an assist from the Ravens’ porous defense) had different plans as Miami managed to overcome a 21-point deficit and pull off a shocking 42-38 victory to improve their record to 2-0.
