What a performance on Sunday. Nine catches, on mine targets, for 140 yards and a touchdown. What was it like being in the zone throughout that victory?
Sam LaPorta: My team and I had an amazing day. I like to think of myself as Jared Goff’s safety net. I definitely wanted to catch everything he sent my way, so that was the goal. Adding in a few major plays was also cool. Along with a touchdown, I also had a few long gains.
