Film room: 49ers return to a familiar face in the absence of key players

With the injuries on offense mounting the last couple of weeks, the 49ers turned to a familiar face to carry the load once again in week six. That’s right, George Kittle. Kittle finished the day with eight receptions on eight targets for 103 yards. And proved once again how critical he is to the offense and how virtually no teams can scheme and remove him as an option for the 49ers offense. He made several crucial catches for the offense on Sunday, and though he didn’t find the end zone, he helped propel the 49ers past the Rams 20-7.
