San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings accomplished an extremely rare feat in Super Bowl LVIII by becoming just the second player in Super Bowl history to throw a touchdown and catch a touchdown in the same game.
He joins former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who accomplished the feat in the team's Super Bowl LII win over the New England Patriots.

Jennings helped open the scoring in the game when he completed a trick-play pass to running back Christian McCaffrey.
He then aided the 49ers in reclaiming the lead in the fourth quarter when he caught this 17-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy.
Purdy. Jennings. 49ers back up 16-13!

Jennings is in his third year with the 49ers and has been a great complementary piece in their offense. He caught 19 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown during the regular season and has caught six passes for 69 yards across the 49ers' first two playoff games this postseason.
