George Kittle A Solid Starting Option In NFC Championship
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle could be a focal point of the Niners' passing game in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. In the Divisional Round, the 29-year-old was involved in 26% of the 49ers' completions and 44% of the passing yards. The Eagles are also an incredibly formidable defense, and Niners QB Brock Purdy likes to lean on his tight end. The Eagles have allowed the fewest passing yards this season, but they have allowed the 19th-most receiving yards to tight ends, showing a disproportionate amount of the yards (26%) go to tight ends. Even in a tough matchup, Kittle can be relied upon.
