49ers George Kittle enjoys signature game of breakout season

SANTA CLARA — George Kittle, have a day. Check that, all the 49ers star tight end needed Sunday was the first half as he carved his name into the franchise record book.

Kittle had seven receptions for 210 yards by halftime against the Denver Broncos, and, with appropriate flair, his 85-yard touchdown reception pushed him over 1,000 yards this season, the first tight end in franchise history to reach that receiving milestone.
