Jennings shades Witherspoon, Seahawks in spicy Instagram post

Jennings shades Witherspoon, Seahawks in spicy Instagram post originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The 49ers celebrated Thanksgiving by feasting on the Seattle Seahawks 31-13 on Thursday at Lumen Field.

But after the game, San Francisco receiver Jauan Jennings wasn't finished chirping. He trolled the Seahawks with a post on Instagram.

"Pay them folks that much money to be missing tackles," Jennings wrote on Instagram with the hashtag #makingmillionsmiss.

Jennings only had one catch in the 49ers' win, but it was a big one -- and it was the play he was referring to in his Instagram caption.

On third-and-7 from the Seahawks' 25-yard line, Jennings caught a pass from quarterback Brock Purdy about three yards short of the first-down marker. Three Seahawks defenders -- including standout rookie Devon Witherspoon -- swarmed to Jennings, who looked like he'd go down short of the sticks.

But the 26-year-old receiver made two defenders miss and kept his legs churning up to the 19-yard line to move the chains. It kept the 49ers' drive alive. Six plays later, San Francisco running back Christian McCaffrey plunged across the goal line for a touchdown and a 14-3 lead.

In 10 games this season, Jennings has tallied 14 catches for 196 yards. Nine of his 14 catches moved the chains, correlating with the "Third-and-Jauan" nickname he earned last season.
