Where will Brandon Aiyuk’s ‘Immaculate Deflection’ catch end up in 49ers lore?

New York Times  

Is it better to be lucky than good? Brandon Aiyuk’s sensational 51-yard reception in the third quarter of the San Francisco 49ers’ NFC Championship Game victory over the Detroit Lions was an encapsulation of that. Quarterback Brock Purdy’s pass clanged off the arms and face mask of Lions cornerback Kindle Vildor — some are calling it the “Immaculate Deflection” — before Aiyuk lunged to nab the ricochet out of midair. “It’s happening for us,” 49ers left tackle Trent Williams said, sharing his thoughts from the immediate aftermath of Aiyuk’s catch. “ one of the best catches I’ve ever seen in the biggest moments,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday.
