LAS VEGAS (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers opened up their bag of tricks late to score the first touchdown in Super Bowl 58.
Receiver Jauan Jennings threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey to give San Francisco a 10-0 lead over the Kansas City Chiefs late in the first half Sunday.
Niners coach Kyle Shanahan shies away from using too many trick plays, believing in the ability of his offense to deliver without them.
But he saved this one up for one of the biggest moments of the season. With San Francisco facing a second-and-10 from the Kansas City 21, Brock Purdy threw a quick lateral to Jennings on the left side.
