Deebo Samuel has been clamoring for more targets in the San Francisco 49ers' sputtering offense in recent weeks. He had his chance on an open slant in the middle of the third quarter of Thursday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but instead had one of the worst drops of his NFL career.
On a third-and-10 from the Rams' 31-yard line, Purdy found Samuel in stride for a sure first down and potential touchdown, with plenty of open field in front of him, but the standout wide receiver couldn't haul in the pass, bobbling it until it hit the turf.
