It was a short pass that Deebo Samuel turned into one of the best plays of the season as the San Francisco 49ers faced the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.
Jimmy Garoppolo found Samuel quickly after the snap and the multi-talented wideout delivered a clinic on how to get to the end zone through one of the better defenses in the NFL.
Samuel started on one side of the field and wound up with six points in the end zone on the opposite side of where he caught the ball.

The play was good for 57 yards and Samuel showed exactly how special he is. The TD gave SF a 14-6 lead approaching the two-minute warning in the first half.
Special player. 🔥@19problemz | #FTTB

Niners legend Jerry Rice loved what he saw out of Samuel at Levi’s Stadium.
