NFL Week 2 - For three years, Trey Lance has been like a much-anticipated, production-delayed superhero movie. We kept seeing trailers through 2020, 2021, and 2022. But the release date kept getting pushed back.
Sunday was supposed to finally be Lance's true premiere. No more teasers or stealth-marketed, fans-only January screenings against the Houston Texans. No more that-doesn't-count-because-it-was pouring excuses for less-than-boffo opening week box office. Trey Lance, uncontested San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback, would finally play a real game on Sunday in acceptable weather.
The Lance Show opened and closed after 15 plays. Lance was carted off the field in an air cast after a brutal hit on a keeper.
