The San Francisco 49ers went deep into their playbook Sunday night in an effort to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs – thanks to former Tennessee wide receiver Jauan Jennings.
Jennings uncorked a jet sweep-reverse pass for a 29-yard touchdown pass to 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey to stun the defending champion Eagles on the opening play of the fourth quarter for a 17-16 lead at Lincoln Financial Field.
