Another TD for George Kittle extends 49ers lead late in 1st half

The Bengals can’t get out of their own way, and Jimmy G. and George Kittle helped the #49ers take advantage.

The Bengals couldn’t get out of their own way to close the second half. They got a stop, but muffed the punt. Then they got another stop, but it was negated by a taunting penalty on safety Vonn Bell after a Jimmy Garoppolo third-down incompletion. After the fresh set of downs, Garoppolo found his tight end George Kittle for a touchdown that extended the 49ers’ lead to 17-6.

For Kittle it was his sixth touchdown reception of the season, which is a new career-high for him.
