George Kittle is headed back to the Super Bowl!

Sunday night, Kittle and the San Francisco 49ers rolled back into the big game with a comeback for the ages. Down 24-7 at halftime, the 49ers stormed back and beat the Detroit Lions 34-31 in an instant classic.

After trailing big at halftime, Kittle channeled a viral interview from the trophy presentation after the game:

“They had us in the first half not gonna lie, but hey, here we are now!” exclaimed Kittle.

Kittle’s comment is a reference to a viral interview out of Austin, Texas featuring an East View High player after one particularly big comeback. Apollos Hester is the subject of the original interview, an interview that was eventually turned into a meme that has been shared across social media.

As for Sunday’s game, Kittle did not have a catch in the first half as the 49ers were held to just one touchdown early on. He did have 2 catches for 27 yards in the second half but also impressed as a blocker throughout the game. One of Kittle’s blocks resulted in a beautiful pancake of former Michigan star Aidan Hutchinson.

Once the second half started, San Francisco completely flipped the script. The 49ers scored 17 points to tie things up in the third quarter and went on a 27-0 run to open the second half in the win.
