The San Francisco 49ers had their backs against the wall on Sunday night. The Detroit Lions were up by three points early in the NFC Championship Game and it looked like the top seed in the NFC was going to fall before the big game. However, they knew where to go when they needed big plays, which was the difference.They got a big contribution from Jennings. He had just one catch for eight yards on the afternoon, but it hit a crucial spot.
At the start of the third quarter, San Francisco faced 3rd and 4 from Detroit’s 35-yard line and trailed by 17 points. Quarterback Brock Purdy miraculously found Jennings with one hand in the middle of the field. That play extended a drive that resulted in a field goal.This field goal cut the deficit to two goals and spurred San Francisco to a historic victory. Jennings had the worst statistical season of his three-year career, still hauling in 19 catches for 265 yards, but is now in the Super Bowl for the first time in his career..
