Well, that was certainly something. The San Francisco 49ers have turned the preseason finale keys over to quarterback Dylan Thompson, and he struck early. The 49ers third string quarterback got the start over Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert, and after one series he is 1/1 for 70 yards, a touchdown and a 2-point conversion completed!
After a pair of runs, the 49ers ran a quick little slant pattern to Bruce Ellington. Thompson found him over the middle, and the 49ers second-year receiver turned on the jets. He made up the 70 yards in no time at all, and the 49ers were on the board.
