49ers tight end George Kittle has caught four touchdown passes in the last two games and has become a favorite target of quarterback Brock Purdy.
SANTA CLARA — George Kittle was in in character after a 37-20 win Saturday over the Washington Commanders.
Kittle’s job was to cross the field, thereby opening up the area for McCloud. Instead, Kittle’s eyes got big and he got greedy. It’s a good sign for the 49ers that Kittle is somewhere near his physical peak, or as close as one can be as a tight end in the NFL. He caught six passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns — his second straight game with two scores.
Kittle is coming off a four-catch, 93-yard game in Seattle with two touchdowns. And while Kittle has had bigger days and bigger games, they don’t often occur this late in the season. Few players work as hard at maintaining their bodies, but Kittle in recent years has been less than 100 percent as the season winds down.“It feels wonderful,” Kittle said. “Coach Shanahan always says you build a callous throughout the year, your body gets used to the hits, you get used to the grind.
