It only took three games for the 49ers to get their first touchdown. It came on their 23rd possession of the season, and they needed a penalty on fourth down to keep the drive alive.
Brian Hoyer scrambled for a 9-yard touchdown with 8:17 left in the first quarter, capping a 14-play, 81-yard drive. It was aided by an offside penalty on Blake Countess on a 49ers punt on fourth-and-two.
Hoyer’s first pass -- on the first play from scrimmage -- was intercepted and nearly returned for a touchdown.
The 49ers scored only 12 points -- four field goals -- in their first two games.
