49ers Jimmy Garoppolo on verge of first start vs. Seahawks

SANTA CLARA — Trivia time: Name the team Jimmy Garoppolo threw his first touchdown pass against in his 49ers debut?

Hint: It was to Louis Murphy … a 10-yard strike on a 10-step rollout by No. 10 … as time expired in that Nov. 26, 2017 game … in late relief of an injured C.J. Beathard.

The 49ers lost 24-13 that day to the Seattle Seahawks, who, nearly two years later, return to Levi’s Stadium on Monday night to face Garoppolo for the first time since then.
