Deebo Samuel called for the ball more often this week on social media. When the ball came his way at a big spot in the game for San Francisco, Samuel ended up dropping it in a key play in a 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams that just about doomed the playoff hopes for the 49ers.

Deebo Samuel had a rough outing during Thursday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. Earlier in the week, Samuel had publicly called for more targets, writing on X (formerly Twitter) in a since-deleted post, "Not struggling at all just not getting the ball!!!!!!!" while responding to criticism that his production was down in 2024.
