The San Francisco 49ers opened the scoring against the Arizona Cardinals with a creative hook-and-ladder play involving wide receivers Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel.
Per multiple reports, quarterback Brock Purdy connected with Evans, who then lateraled the ball to Samuel for the score. The play went the distance for a touchdown, though outlets disagreed slightly on yardage—CBS Sports and one report cited 82 yards, while Yahoo Sports reported 80 yards.
The trick play showcased coordination between the veteran receivers and put the 49ers on the board first in the matchup.
