The 49ers lone touchdown in their 13-10 win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Divisional Round came on an incredible special teams play. Defensive end Jordan Willis got past the Packers front line and blocked Corey Bojorquez’s punt with five minutes left in regulation. With the Niners trailing 10-3, safety Talanoa Hufanga came away with the ball and scored a game-tying touchdown.
49ers special teams coordinator Richard Hightower has received plenty of criticism this season for the team’s poor overall special teams performance. However, after multiple big plays, Hightower’s unit has received plenty of praise for its fantastic performance.
