WATCH: Emmanuel Moseley returns pick-six on errant throw from Baker Mayfield
San Francisco 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley notched the first pick-six of his NFL career on Sunday versus Baker Mayfield and the Carolina Panthers.

Moseley caught the ball and ran it back for a 41-yard touchdown. The score put the 49ers up 17-3 with the clock ticking down to the end of the first half.
