Sunday was National Tight Ends Day and one former Iowa tight end had himself a day. Let’s do this!
George Kittle
After missing the first couple of weeks of the year, it was a slow start for Kittle. He’s gradually built over the last three weeks and that culminated Sunday in his best game of the year, going for 6 receptions and 98 yards on 9 targets. His day was highlighted by this:
That touchdown brought San Francisco within 5, 28-23, early in the fourth quarter against Kansas City, but the Chiefs scored immediately on the next possession, then Jimmy Garoppolo suddenly likes taking safeties, and that was that in what ended up as a 44-23 final for KC.
