WATCH: Jauan Jennings Makes Crucial Play in NFC Title Game

The San Francisco 49ers were facing overwhelming odds on Sunday night, even though they are already focused on Super Bowl preparation. It appeared as though the top-seeded Detroit Lions might lose before the big game when they took a three-point lead early in the NFC Championship Game. But the difference was, they understood where to go when they needed huge plays.

Former Tennessee wide receiver Jauan Jennings made a huge impact for them. He only had one reception for eight yards during the afternoon, but it was at a critical moment. With 17 points behind early in the third quarter, San Francisco faced a 3rd & 4 from Detroit’s 35-yard line. Quarterback Brock Purdy found Jennings over the middle of the field for a miraculous one-handed catch, which extended the drive and set up a field goal.

That field goal gave San Francisco a historic come-from-behind victory by cutting the advantage to two points. While Jennings had 19 catches for 265 yards in his lowest statistical season of his three-year contract, he is now playing in the Super Bowl for the first time in his career.
