San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was on the microphone after his team defeated the Detroit Lions to earn a trip to the Super Bowl.
Kittle and the 49ers trailed the Lions, 24-7, by the end of the second quarter at Levi’s Stadium. San Francisco eventually stormed back, however, and they emerged victorious to win the NFC championship game.
According to Kittle, however, he and his teammates were experiencing some nerves when they faced the early deficit. During his postgame interview, the five-time Pro Bowl honoree perfectly evoked a classic football meme.

Kittle said, “They had us in the first half not gonna lie” during his one-on-one with Michael Strahan.
Much like the famous interview with the high school football player from nearly a decade ago, this was one heck of a motivational speech by Kittle.
