6 takeaways from 49ers’ wild 48-46 win vs. Saints

The 49ers finally got on the right end of a last-second field goal.

George Kittle is the best tight end in the league

There’s not a lot that hasn’t been said about the 49ers’ exuberant tight end. He was quiet for most of Sunday afternoon, but came up with two huge plays. First he scored a five-yard touchdown to give the 49ers a 35-30 lead in the third quarter. Then he came up with the play of the game on San Francisco’s final drive. On fourth-and-2, Garoppolo found the tight end on a quick out. Kittle turned up field and went for 39 yards. He also drew a 15-yard facemask penalty to put the 49ers in easy field goal range. Garoppolo was great all game, but Kittle’s effort on the last drive put San Francisco over the top.
