Deebo Samuel has had a very quiet season. He complained this week about not getting the ball on social media.
The San Francisco 49ers clearly made it a point to target him more, and on one key third down in the second half Thursday night, Brock Purdy hit him in stride with a pass that probably should have been a touchdown. In any previous season of his career, Samuel would have taken that to the end zone. We’ve seen it many times before.
The boos are raining after a crucial 3rd down drop from Deebo Samuel.
