Jauan Jennings thows TD pass, 49ers up 17-16

Our Summary

The San Francisco 49ers took the lead against the Philadelphia Eagles early in the fourth quarter with a trick play. Quarterback Brock Purdy initiated the play by handing the ball to wide receiver Skyy Moore on a jet sweep, who then passed it to wideout Jauan Jennings. Jennings completed a 29-yard touchdown pass to running back Christian McCaffrey. The subsequent extra point gave the 49ers a 17-16 advantage with 14:52 remaining. This touchdown marks McCaffrey's eighth consecutive playoff game with a score, making him the fourth player in NFL history to achieve this feat. Additionally, it was Jennings' second career passing touchdown in postseason play, his first since the 49ers' Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
