Jauan Jennings' second career playoff TD came on a "sky bang reverse pass"

Jauan Jennings, a former four-star dual-threat quarterback recruit, made a significant play as a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers by throwing a 29-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey. The play contributed to the 49ers' 23-19 victory over the Chiefs. This marked the second time Jennings connected with McCaffrey for a touchdown pass, having previously done so in the 49ers' 25-22 Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Chiefs.

Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak proposed the trick play, known as "sky bang reverse pass," which hadn't been executed since 2019. The play involved a double-reverse where Brock Purdy handed off to Skyy Moore, who then tossed the ball to Jennings. Jennings completed the pass to McCaffrey, while also drawing a roughing-the-passer penalty.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged the strategic setup for the play, noting that the team had practiced it multiple times
