US EditionGeorge Kittle reintroduced to 49ers’ offense in loss to Rams. Here’s why it’s a big deal
Kittle caught nine passes for 84 yards and scored a touchdown, boosting the 49ers' offense despite the team’s 42-26 defeat, showing signs of progress this NFL season.
- On November 9, the San Francisco 49ers lost 42-26 to the Los Angeles Rams at Levi's Stadium, with George Kittle returning and catching nine passes for a touchdown.
- Because injuries mounted, the team brought Kittle back a little more than a month ago from a torn hamstring as the San Francisco 49ers leaned on veteran playmakers.
- Kittle's presence appeared in both blocking and receiving, supplying key blocks that boosted the 49ers rushing attack and energizing teammates with contested catches, said a teammate.
- Despite offensive gains, turnovers and penalties undermined the effort as the 49ers produced 26 points with Mac Jones throwing for more than 300 yards, leaving them 6-4 in NFC West.
- In the coming weeks the 49ers must take charge as Ricky Pearsall Jr., Brock Purdy and Brandon Aiyuk return; the schedule includes a Week 14 bye and a home game with Tennessee.
