Deebo Samuel’s 80-yard lateral TD sets NFL record without a catch

Deebo Samuel set an NFL record with 80 receiving yards and no catches, scoring on an 80-yard lateral in San Francisco’s win over Arizona. Brock Purdy passed to Mike Evans, who pitched the ball to Samuel on the 49ers’ opening-drive third-and-12.

Samuel broke the previous mark of 65 receiving yards without a catch, set by Timmy Brown with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1961. He also rushed twice for 14 yards, but those carries did not count toward his receiving total.
