The first three games of the season were not kind to George Kittle. In 2019, the San Francisco tight end averaged more than six catches and 75 yards per game, but he managed only four catches for 44 yards in the 2020 opener against Arizona. Worse, he suffered a sprained knee against the Cardinals and missed the next two weeks entirely.
Things turned around in Week 4, however, in a very big way. The 49ers went to Kittle early and often on Sunday night. He finished the game against the Eagles with 15 receptions (most for any player in a game this year), a 100% catch rate, 183 yards, and one touchdown.
