George Kittle is in the longest scoring streak of his San Fransisco 49ers career
George Kittle’s had a strong first few seasons in the NFL. A Pro Bowl season in 2018 followed up with an All-Pro selection in 2019, Kittle has been a productive tight end for the San Fransico 49ers, but he did something Sunday he hadn’t yet done as a pro.
Entering his 5th season, Kittle hadn’t caught touchdown passes in back-to-back games before. Against Jacksonville on Sunday, the tight end hauled in a score for the 3rd straight game. NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco shared the tidbit.
Before this season, George Kittle had never caught a TD pass in back-to-back games. Now, he’s caught a TD pass in three consecutive games.

Kittle had 4 catches for 34 yards and a score Sunday, helping the Niners to a 30-10 win over the Jags. The former Hawkeye has had at least 4 catches in every game this season.
The Niners moved to 5-5 on the season with the win.
