Somehow, the San Francisco 49ers squeaked out a 17-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday thanks in part to… Jake Tonges?
That’s right, the third-string tight end stepped up in a major way filling in for an injured George Kittle, and the Niners may need more of that from him.
Tonges caught three passes for 15 yards, including what turned out to be a deciding touchdown in the last two minutes of the game. Quarterback Brock Purdy scrambled around frantically on 3rd-and-goal and seemed to almost throw the ball up for grabs into the corner of the end zone.
