George Kittle and the San Francisco 49ers are adjusting to life with a new quarterback. So far, the offense does not seem to be bothered by the change.

Last week, the 49ers blew out Tampa Bay at home with Brock Purdy making his first career NFL start. This week, Purdy is leading the team on the road in a tough atmosphere against the Seattle Seahawks.

Through one quarter of action, the road environment has not rattled Purdy or the 49ers. The QB went a perfect 9-for-9 in the first quarter for 73 yards and hooked up with Kittle on a few connections.

One of those connections was the first touchdown of the night, a 28-yard toss where Kittle sliced up the defense and rolled virtually untouched for the touchdown.

At the end of the first quarter, Kittle has 2 catches for 30 yards and a touchdown. So far, it looks like Kittle and Purdy may be in for a big night against the Seahawks.
