The San Francisco 49ers pulled a rabbit out of their hat for the first touchdown of Super Bowl LVIII.

From the Kansas City 21-yard line, Brock Purdy threw a backward pass to Jauan Jennings, who was immediately looking downfield.

Nothing was open deep, but Jennings somehow found Christian McCaffrey on the other side of the field, albeit behind the line of scrimmage, but that was all Jennings needed to do.

McCaffrey had plenty of blocks in front of him, and he went untouched for the touchdown, with the ensuing PAT giving San Fran a 10-0 lead.

It was the 49ers' own version of the Philly Special, which the Eagles ran in Super Bowl LII. Against the New England Patriots, running back Corey Clement took the snap and flipped it to tight end Trey Burton, who found quarterback Nick Foles in the end zone.
