1:03 The Panthers win the toss and defer. The 49ers will receive first.
1:05 Anthony Dixon is the kick returner and he takes a knee in the end zone. Mario Manningham is the starting split end.
1:09 On second and 10 from the 49ers’ 42 they take timeout to avoid a Delay penalty. They almost committed a Delay on the first play of the game. The 49ers have had two good plays so far – a pass in the flat to Bruce Miller and an 11-yard run by Frank Gore.
