Aiyuk says that a ladybug helped him make a miraculous catch that helped the 49ers win the NFC championship.
With a great catch in the third quarter, Brandon Aiyuk might have rescued the San Francisco 49ers’ season.
The 49ers were down 14 points when Brock Purdy, their quarterback, threw a deep pass to Aiyuk, who was covering only one player.
After the 49ers won 34–31 and moved on to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, Aiyuk credited an…interesting source with the magic in the third quarter.
“Before the game, a ladybug had landed on my shoe,” Aiyuk told Erin Andrews on Fox after the win. “You all understand what that means. That’s all I have to say. Good luck, God had been with us today.
In the third quarter, the 49ers were down 24–10 to the Detroit Lions, and Brock Purdy looked deep for Brandon Aiyuk on first-and–ten from the 45-yard line.
He missed his mark with an overthrow that Vildor could have caught. Vildor’s hands and facemask didn’t catch the ball; instead, Aiyuk dove and caught it at the 4-yard line.
The replay proved that Aiyuk did catch the ball after it hit Vildor’s helmet and bounced back. It’s hard to believe that Aiyuk gained 51 yards when the ball bounced off of Detroit Lions corner Kindle Vildor’s helmet and into his outstretched arms.
Before Aiyuk hit the ground, Vildor touched him. It wasn’t a passing touchdown, but the pass went 51 yards. After three plays, Purdy found Aiyuk to the end zone to make it 24–17 in favor of Detroit.
The 49ers didn’t play well in the opening half when Detroit led 24–7, and this score was huge for both him and his team, who are negotiating a new contract without him this season.
It also happened to be the type of play that changed the course of a game where going to the big game was on the line.
On Detroit’s next possession, San Francisco forced a fumble, which was then used to set up a touchdown run by Christian McCaffrey. A 17-point lead for the Lions was gone in an instant.
After that, they scored a field goal and an Eli Mitchell touchdown, along the 49ers never fell behind again.
With a great catch in the third quarter, Brandon Aiyuk might have preserved the San Francisco 49ers’ season.
The 49ers were down 14 points when Brock Purdy, their quarterback, threw a deep pass to Aiyuk, who was covering only one player.
It’s hard to believe that Aiyuk gained 51 yards when the ball bounced off of Detroit Lions CB Kindle Vildor’s helmet and into his outstretched arms.

The San Francisco 49ers have advanced to the Super Bowl, which means that they will play the Kansas City Chiefs again in the 2020 NFL title game, which they won.
On Sunday night, the San Francisco 49ers beat the Detroit Lions 34–31 to win the NFC championship contest at home and lock up a spot in the Super Bowl.
Before this, the 49ers had never been to the playoffs before. In 2020, they lost to the Chiefs 31–20.
They beat the San Diego Chargers 49–26 in 1995 to win the Lombardi trophy for the last time. In 2013, the 49ers also made it to the Super Bowl, but the Baltimore Ravens beat them 34–31.
The Lions’ season had taken a big turn for the better. There was a time when Dan Campbell played for the Lions.
He became famous in the media for his motivational speeches in the locker room and for making their squad competitive this season.
Lions fans were very upset about their team’s loss in the NFC championship game. The Lions dominated the first phase of the game at the 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, but the 49ers fought back hard in the second half.
On Sunday morning, the Chiefs beat the Ravens in Baltimore in the AFC championship game, making it their fourth trip across the Super Bowl since 2020. On February 11, the NFL’s big game will take place at Las Vegas’s Allegiant.
