The 49ers came out of Philadelphia with a triumphant 23-19 victory over the Eagles in the wild-card round, but they devastatingly lost George Kittle to a torn achilles injury. The All-Pro tight end—one of the most beloved figures in the league—went down in the second quarter with the injury, and will now be out until at least next season.
Kittle was quickly carted off into the locker room, where he was comforted by his wife, Claire, and 49ers owner Jed York, who ensured he had a bottle of tequila brought to him at his request.
