When the San Francisco 49ers played the Denver Broncos in Week 14, George Kittle’s 210 receiving yards in the first half left him five yards short of the record for most receiving yards by a tight end in a single game. He had a half of football to play to get the required yardage totals to pass Shannon Sharpe in the record books. Five yards was all he needed.
Kittle didn’t have a single catch the second half.
Apologies came from 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan for not getting Kittle the ball and the record.
