49ers in Five: George Kittle says the team let the defense down

Before yesterday’s game, George Kittle made sure to mention to the media that the Seahawks had won 16 of the last 19 games against the 49ers in Seattle. Then he went out and caught nine passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns in a loss. Even after his best game of the season, though Kittle found himself essentially apologizing after the game.

“This game was like a roller coaster. it was pretty brutal. I think our defense played really really well for being down the amount of guys they were...At least two of your three teams have to play well, and I think our offense and our special teams didn’t play our best games.
