The 49ers’ defense was the tip of the spear that led San Francisco to its divisional playoff win over the Cowboys on Sunday, but tight end George Kittle did his part on the other side of the ball.
Kittle, the unquestioned offensive star of the game for the 49ers, posted five catches for 95 yards on five targets. It was the best postseason performance of his career, and he was in the middle of virtually every key offensive moment for San Francisco. Four of his five catches were significant, and another non-catch jumps out as perhaps the turning point of Sunday’s showdown at Levi’s Stadium.
