Deebo's 83-yard catch sets up Jimmy G rushing TD vs. Bears

The YAC King showed up Sunday in Chicago. 

Deebo Samuel's latest act of making defenders look silly was on full display when the 49ers star receiver took a quick screen 83 yards down to the 2-yard line in San Francisco's battle with the Bears. Samuel leaped for the end zone, and the play was called a touchdown. 

However, upon further review, he was called short of scoring a touchdown. 

The catch gave Samuel five receptions for 156 yards at the time. 

Three plays later, Jimmy Garoppolo rushed 2 yards for the score.

The TD made it a 16-15 game in favor of the Bears with just under six minutes left in the third quarter. Unfortunately for the 49ers, the score stayed the same as Joey Slye missed the extra point.

Garoppolo's touchdown was his second on the ground this season.
