Days before the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers faced off in Week 18 of the regular season, George Kittle uttered a comment that may or may not have been taken out of context by members of the Rams. Kittle shared that it was a “bodybag game” for both sides due to the physicality that both teams play with.
Some people in Los Angeles seemed to think Kittle was saying the 49ers were going to send the Rams home in a bodybag, rather than reading his full quote. Despite Kittle’s remarks being misconstrued, Raheem Morris and other members of the Rams are looking to get revenge on the All-Pro tight end’s comments.
“He’s one of my favorite players in this league, other than this week,” Morris told reporters Thursday. “When you talk about George Kittle you’re talking about a competitor, a tough guy. He came out and talked about the bodybag game last week and he put us in one and now it’s our time to pay him back.”
