Watch: Blaine Gabbert throws TD in first start for 49ers

49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert threw a touchdown in his first start of the season.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert was making his first start of the season Sunday, and responded by throwing a touchdown pass in the second quarter. 

Gabbert, a former No. 10 overall pick, only played in one game for the 49ers last season. He started Sunday after the team decided to bench the struggling Colin Kaepernick. 

Early in the second quarter, Gabbert led a 12-play, 84-yard drive culminating in a touchdown pass to Garrett Celek from one yard out. You can watch the touchdown below:
