49ers TE George Kittle believes in the offense

The top receiver for the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1 was tight end George Kittle. He finished the day with five catches for 90 yards, but it’s the passes the he didn't catch that may leave a more lasting impression as what could have been, for both himself and fans. Kittle was targeted nine times and there’s one in particular that he’d like to have back.

Jimmy Garoppolo went deep to Kittle to the left side of the field in the third quarter and his outstretched arms were not long enough to get a grip on the ball.
