San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings showed off his incredible focus in the first half of their game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
The 49ers were looking to capitalize in the red zone before the first half ended. Jimmy Garoppolo scanned the field on 1st-and-goal from the Saints 5-yard line and lasered Jennings in the back of the end zone.
