The San Francisco 49ers offense has gotten creative during the first half of Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Saints, but no one play made that more evident than their third touchdown. Emmanuel Sanders tossed the second touchdown pass of his career, finding Raheem Mostert for a 35-yard score in the second quarter.

Sanders previously tossed a 28-yard score last season as a member of the Denver Broncos. All three of his career pass attempts have now gone for completions.

Earlier in the second quarter, Sanders was on the receiving end of the touchdown celebration, having hauled in a deep ball from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for a 75-yard score. His two-touchdown day marks the first time that Sanders has found the end zone on multiple occasions since Week 7 of the 2018 campaign when he did so against the Arizona Cardinals.
