The San Francisco 49ers lost a tough game on Sunday to the Houston Texans. San Francisco's offense struggled for the most part against a stout Houston defense although George Kittle still showed up for National Tight Ends Day.

At the end of a first half in which San Francisco went without a first down until the closing minutes, quarterback Mac Jones connected with Kittle in the end zone to get the Niners on the board and send them to the locker room with some momentum.

It was a great back-shoulder throw from Jones to Kittle, who made a phenomenal catch while surrounded by three Houston defenders.
