George Kittle pulled off a spectacular touchdown highlight during the San Francisco 49ers' 24-14 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon.

Kittle has been playing in the NFL since 2017, going through his 10th season with the 49ers. He shines as one of the best tight ends in the league, often getting great connections with Brock Purdy in past seasons.

That certainly got the spotlight during San Francisco's clash with Denver. The touchdown score took place in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, seeing Kittle catch the pass from Purdy and get past defenders for 55 yards into the end zone for the touchdown. It proved to be crucial as it gave the hosts the distance they needed to fend off Denver.
