On the opening kickoff against the San Francisco 49ers, Ejiofor was on hand to make the tackle.

"I was trying to work on special teams all week and then just trying to make a play on special teams and tonight I did," Ejiofor said after the game.

Two plays later, Ejiofor added a tackle for loss of five yards on 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis.

"Oh yeah, just being patient, reading my keys and the offensive play. Just seeing the reverse coming and making a play," Ejiofor said.
