Jauan Jennings’ Late Surge Fuels 49ers’ Winner-Take-All Clash With Seahawks

The receiver’s chemistry with Brock Purdy has turned high‑leverage targets into touchdowns.

Overview

  • Jennings has six touchdowns over his last five games and has scored in seven of his past eight since Brock Purdy returned in Week 11.
  • His 38-yard fourth‑quarter score in Week 17 against the Bears pushed him past 600 receiving yards and triggered an incentive worth nearly $666,666, with additional reception- and snap-based bonuses still attainable.
  • One more touchdown would make him the first true 49ers wideout to reach double‑digit TDs in a season since Terrell Owens in 2002.
  • Kyle Shanahan characterized his Week 6 sideline dispute with Jennings as a constructive moment that helped refocus the receiver after battling calf, ankle, shoulder and rib injuries.
  • The 49ers host Seattle in Week 18, with the NFC West title and the conference’s No. 1 seed going to the winner.
