Perhaps it was a surprise because Brock Osweiler, a fourth-year quarterback, was playing in only his second game as a starting NFL quarterback.
But he’ll tell you he could have done it as a first-year quarterback.
Osweiler, on the final play of the game that resulted in C.J. Anderson’s game-winning, 48-yard touchdown run in overtime, made the call.
On a third-and-1, Osweiler pitched the ball to Anderson, who ran to the left side as tight end Vernon Davis, tackle Ryan Harris and center Matt Paradis cleared a hole in the line for him to break through and sprint up the sideline for the score.
