In the first play of the second half, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy found George Kittle wide open on the left sideline. The tight end made a 54-yard run to the end zone. This was the most by a TE this season.
Purdy made two fake pumps and then connected with Kittle for the team’s first touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks.
Last week, the rookie led San Francisco to a win against Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He suffered an injury and played through the discomfort.
