George Kittle made his return to the starting lineup on Sunday, and the Eagles immediately felt his presence in a big way. The tight end caught 15 passes for 183 yards and one touchdown after missing the last two games due to a knee injury sustained in week one. He was the team’s leading receiver and caught more passes than every receiver that had a target for the 49ers that night.
The touchdown pass was on a single high coverage beater in the red zone. Single high in the red zone is already a dangerous game as often times teams cannot adequately cover multiple receivers releasing into vertical routes in such a compressed space where the passes tend to be quicker as well.
