Week 14 Takeaways: 49ers’ Offensive Masterpiece, NFL Officiating Just Offensive

Reacting and overreacting to everything that happened in the Week 14 Sunday afternoon games...

Things That Made Me Giddy

Kyle Shanahan’s Masterpiece: Other coaches will look at the misdirection designs Shanahan rolled out in New Orleans and weep. On the rare off-day for his defense, Shanahan’s offense put up 48 points, 516 yards, and 8.2 yards per play against a very good Saints defense in the Superdome. These were two of the highlights, but just about everything Shanahan called turned into gold on Sunday.

George Kittle After the Catch: You want your playmakers to make plays at the biggest times, and Kittle delivered with the 39-yard catch-and-run(-and-run-and-run, with a 15-yard facemask penalty tacked on) to set up the game-winning field goal.
