Deebo Samuel took advantage of an off-balance Jalen Ramsey on his 57-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter of Monday’s 24-9 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver spoke to reporters after the game and said he was puzzled by Ramsey’s approach against him in the open field.
“Yeah, I don’t know what he was doing out there,” Samuel said. “I just went right by him. He was just backpedaling, I was like, ‘What’s going on?'”
On Instagram, he had an even better response as he trolled the Rams cornerback for failing to tackle him while they were one-on-one.

Ramsey was the last line of defense, but he took a bad angle that allowed Samuel to break a tackle and give San Francisco a 14-6 lead.
The 26-year-old had a season-high six catches and 115 yards in the win.
