That George Kittle jet sweep

With 12:54 left in the 2nd quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it was 1st and 10 for the Niners at their own 32. George Kittle, Richie James Jr., and Kendrick Bourne lined up in a bunch, very tight to the right side of the offensive line.

Kittle motioned into the left slot and set up. Then he came back in motion to his right, and took a quick handoff from Mullens right after the snap. James Jr. and Bourne joined forces to block CB Javien Elliott (#35), driving him back nine yards as Kittle ran around the right end, outracing LB Adarius Taylor (53) for a ten yard gain.
