After two quick handoffs, Jennings heaved it 29-yards down the sideline to McCaffrey, who came down with the ball in the endzone.

The trick play gave the 49ers a one-point lead and a much-needed momentum swing. While San Francisco’s offense has been shaky otherwise, it came up big to start the final frame.
