Deebo makes NFL history with backfield usage vs. Cowboys

Share

After the K’Waun Williams interception, Deebo Samuel told Kyle Shanahan that he wanted the ball. The very next play, the WR ran it in for a 29-yard touchdown run to seal the Niners victory over the Cowboys.

In case you haven't noticed yet, Deebo Samuel is one of a kind. 

The 49ers wide receiver/running back/quarterback has established himself as one of the NFL's most unique weapons throughout the second half of the season. 

In Sunday's 23-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Game at AT&T Stadium, Samuel made history on the ground. 

Against the Cowboys on Sunday, Samuel accumulated 110 total yards from scrimmage (72 rushing, 38 receiving) with a touchdown on the ground in the third quarter. 

Samuel has been so dominant on the ground, in fact, that he out-paced Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott throughout the second half of the season.

The 49ers will look to deploy their do-it-all offensive weapon any way they can on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Divisional Round Game at Lambeau Field.
