No Kittle, no problem

The 49ers have generally struggled to move the ball when George Kittle isn’t productive in the passing game.  That wasn’t the case Saturday when Kittle was held to just 16 yards on three catches. However, he was a monster in the run game and helped pave the way on the ground for 186 yards on 47 carries. San Francisco probably won’t survive moving forward with such limited production from their tight end, but the fact they got such a dominant offensive game without him is a great sign.
