George Kittle comes back full circle in 49ers' romp over the Dolphins
The San Francisco 49ers blew out the Miami Dolphins in a 35-13 romp in their home opener, with George Kittle playing a starring role, scoring a TD and notching his 600th career catch.
In a Week 1 victory against the Miami Dolphins, 49ers tight end George Kittle returned from a torn Achilles injury eight months ago with a remarkable display of speed and agility. After a quiet first half, Kittle caught four passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in the second half, marking his 600th career catch and becoming only the second 49er to reach that milestone alongside Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice.
Kittle's energy and enthusiasm were evident as he celebrated his return while acknowledging he was still working on regaining full game shape.
