SANDERS CATCHES TD IN FIRST GAME WITH NINERS

Bellville-native Emmanuel Sanders made his debut with the San Francisco 49ers a memorable one, catching a touchdown on his first reception with his new team.

Sanders (32) was traded from the Denver Broncos to the 49ers last week, for a third and a fourth round draft pick in the 2020 Draft.

On the 49ers opening drive in their 51-13 win over Carolina, Sanders put his new team on the board with a 4-yard scoring pass from Jimmy Garapolo.  Sanders finished with four receptions for 41 yards.

Sanders' former team, the Broncos, dropped a heart-breaker to Indianapolis, 15-13.

Former Brenham Cub, Courtland Sutton led the Broncos with three catches for 72 yards, including a 33-yarder.

Another former Cub, Malcom Brown, helped anchor the New Orleans Saints' defense that downed Arizona, 31-9.

Brown had one un-assisted tackle, and was part of a defensive front that limited the Cardinals to 40 yards rushing and less than 240 yards total offense.
