The 49ers got their sweet revenge over the Eagles in Sunday’s wild-card playoff win, but it came at a heavy cost: San Francisco star tight end George Kittle suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in the second quarter.
Kittle had just reeled in a pass from Brock Purdy and was trying to drive upfield past an Eagles defender when he suffered his Achilles tear in his right leg. He was carted off the field shortly after, but not before he shared an emotional and tender moment with his coach, Kyle Shanahan.
