Watch 49ers tight end George Kittle outrun Broncos for 85-yard touchdown

George Kittle nearly matched Sunday's record-setting first quarter with one play in the second quarter.

The 49ers tight end caught four passes for 94 yards in the first quarter against the Denver Broncos. On his fifth, Kittle hauled in a 15-yard pass from quarterback Nick Mullens at San Francisco's 30-yard line, then outran the Broncos' defense the rest of the way to give the 49ers a 12-0 lead.

For those counting at home, that's one catch, 85 yards and a touchdown.

Kittle's fifth catch Sunday made him the first tight end in 49ers history with 1,000 receiving yards in a single season ... with three games to go. It was his fourth touchdown on the year, and his second of more than 80 yards.

Now imagine when Kittle gets a whole year of a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo.
