Leave it to George Kittle to stay optimistic after 49ers' brutal loss to Rams

Final. 26. 42. 49ers-Rams final. 42. 51

Tight end George Kittle was one of the few bright spots amid the San Francisco 49ers' painful-to-watch 42-26 Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at Levi's Stadium on Sunday.

Not only did the All-Pro lead all Niners pass catchers with 84 yards in the contest, but he also recorded one of the more impressive touchdown receptions fans could have possibly seen.

Even though it was at a point when San Francisco was all but guaranteed to lose, however.

The one-sided loss in which they were outclassed by LA in every possible way did a lot of damage to the 49ers' playoff aspirations, both in terms of the standings and also in the realization of just how much injuries and attrition have depleted head coach Kyle Shanahan's squad over the course of the year.
