George Kittle Clears 50 Yards Again
6 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle grabbed three balls for 51 yards in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. Kittle led the team with eight targets but the Seahawks were successful in containing the breakout second-year stud. Kittle also yielded two catches and a score to fellow tight end Garrett Celek while quarterback Nick Mullens barely missed him for a likely long touchdown. Even with the quiet game, Kittle is up to 1,154 receiving yards on the season. He’s been targeted at least eight times in five straight games and has surpassed 50 yards in 11 contests this season. The Niners draw the top-ranked Chicago Bears defense in Week 16 but Kittle has proven to be a matchup-proof TE1.
