With 10 minutes left in game, Kittle made a short catch and turned it up the left side. He rushed for 32 yards for his second touchdown of the MNF tie. The tight end did a Pentagon Jr celebration.
Watch:
San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo Kittle on the 39 yard touchdown pass in the second quarter.
Garoppolo threw four touchdown passes, including two each to Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle, and the San Francisco 49ers won their third straight game by blowing past the Arizona Cardinals 38-10.
Kittle walked into the Estadio Azteca Stadium in Mexico City wearing a Pentagon Jr’s mask ahead of the game. The Mexican wrestler gifted him the mask.
The tight end is a wrestling fan. He had celebrated a first down against Las Vegas Raiders with Pentagon’s “Cero Miedo” finger gesture, which translates to “zero fear.”
San Francisco (6-4) now have won five of their last seven games and are tied with the Seattle Seahawks at the top of the NFC West. Garoppolo had another efficient performance, completing 20 of 29 passes for 228 yards.

It was a tight game through much of the first half, but the 49ers pulled away in the second half, jumping ahead 24-10 early in the third quarter on a nifty end-around play. Samuel took the pitch and sprinted 39 yards, weaving through the Cardinals defense on his way to the end zone.
The 49ers took a 17-10 into the halftime break after Robbie Gould connected on a 39-yard field goal with 43 seconds remaining the second quarter. It capped a back-and-forth first half that saw the teams gain almost identical amounts of yardage: The 49ers had a 186-185 advantage.
