Emmanuel Sanders throws 35-yard TD pass to Raheem Mostert

The 49ers’ win over the Saints had so many wild plays that it sometimes gets lost that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders actually threw a touchdown pass. It came on a reverse pass where Sanders was under duress from a blitzing linebacker.

Mostert leaked out of the backfield on the play and found himself wide open down the right side as chaos reigned in the backfield. Sanders saw the running back, and despite the unanticipated pressure, uncorked a dime to Mostert, who could’ve walked in for his easiest score of the year.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan was sensational all game in New Orleans, but pulling that play out of his bag to cut the Saints’ lead to 27-21 midway through the second quarter was big. Plus, it was just a really cool play.
