George Kittle opens up about a difficult experience before the 49ers' Seahawks clash, revealing how it affected his performance.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle faced a significant physical challenge just before a divisional game against the Seattle Seahawks. According to reports, Kittle lost a concerning amount of weight, about 10 pounds, while battling an illness. During a press conference, Kittle admitted he felt "terrible, like a shell of myself" during the game after vomiting before kickoff.
He described the contest as having "horrible, not a lot of juice," but noted that caffeine helped him continue playing. Kittle expressed relief that the 49ers played on Monday night instead of Thursday, allowing him more time to recover and regain his strength. Despite feeling unwell, he suited up for the game and contributed with five catches for 24 yards in the 49ers' 32-29 victory over Seattle, maintaining their impressive undefeated record at 5-0.
