San Francisco 49ers receiver scores 1-in-1000 chance touchdown in Week 13DAZN
Just another highlight reel play for Deebo Samuel.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has made a habit of scoring eye-catching and improbable touchdowns during his career.

Week 13's statement win over the Philadelphia Eagles was no different, highlighted by a 48-yard touchdown in the third period.

According to Next Gen Stats, Samuel had a 0.1% chance of scoring a touchdown when he caught the football on the Eagles' 42-yard line.

The 'YACOE' referred to in Next Gen Stats' post on X stands for 'Yards After Catch Over Expected', or in simple terms - how much further did the receiver get than he should have after catching the football.

Samuel has made a career out of posting ridiculous 'YACOE' numbers. By full time on Sunday the 49ers star had totalled 949 yards more than expected since joining the league back in 2019 - the highest in the NFL.

In Sunday's Week 13 game alone, Samuel had a career high 88 yards after catch over expected, moving him up to 174 for the season.
