49ers WR Jauan Jennings goes full 'Grinch' mode, trolls fans after scoring a touchdown in matchup with Colts

Jauan Jennings couldn’t resist having a little fun on Monday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Jennings caught a short 3-yard touchdown catch from Brock Purdy to kick off the second half of their matchup with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday, and immediately bolted toward a pair of fans sitting in the corner of the end zone. Jennings reached out with the ball, too, and seemed ready to hand it off to a woman sitting in the front row.

But right as Jennings reached her, he ripped the ball back, turned and sprinted the other way to celebrate instead in what was an incredible troll job. The woman's face, and outstretched hands, said it all.

Brutal. But, with Jennings in enemy territory, it’s hard to blame him. 

The touchdown reception marked just the second catch that Jennings had made all night. It put the 49ers up 31-17 at the time, too. Jennings now has eight total touchdowns this season. The 28-year-old entered Monday night's contest with 495 receiving yards on 44 catches.

San Francisco came into the game with a 10-4 record, which has them in third in the NFC West standings. The 49ers already clinched a playoff spot, however, so a loss to the Colts wouldn’t completely ruin their postseason hopes. 

They are not out of their divisional race by any means, though, so a strong finish — both on Monday night and the rest of the way in their final two games of the regular season against the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks — would be extremely helpful come playoff time.
