George Kittle’s long TD against the Broncos proves he’s back to old form for the 49ers
With the San Francisco 49ers protecting a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter, George Kittle caught a pass 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage against a blitz and saw only open territory ahead. Kittle outran former teammate Talanoa Hufanga on the way to the 56-yard touchdown that sealed San Francisco’s 24-14 win against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The big play silenced any doubters who questioned how he would perform coming off major Achilles tendon surgery in January. Kittle has been one of the most productive tight ends in the NFL over the past three weeks.
