George Kittle was determined to make their third touchdown stick. First, a holding penalty from Kittle nullified what would have been a 38-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy to running back Jordan Mason.

Kittle skied over three Patriots defenders to make the first-half grab. Mason extended the score to 27-10 in the third quarter.

The San Francisco 49ers offense was struggling to find the end zone Sunday against the New England Patriots. Then tight end George Kittle made his way into the fold. Two trip inside the Patriots' 10 had yielded two field goals.
