With a 38-13 victory over the hapless Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon, the 49ers finally returned to their winning ways. Despite the absence of star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, backup running back Jordan Mason, and running back Christian McCaffrey, the team amassed 452 yards of offense and ended their three-game losing streak. Isaac Guerendo, the team’s third-string running back, ran for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries and another 50 yards through the air on just two receptions. Tight end George Kittle gave him some wise counsel prior to the game.
All I have been telling Isaac is, “Hey guy, just go very, really swiftly and hold on to the football and you are going to get a lot of yards.” After the game, Kittle said in an ESPN interview. “And I thought he did a fairly good job on the work today.” The great tight end also had an amazing day. In addition to hauling in six grabs for 161 yards, he became just the third tight end in NFL history to have at least 500 receptions and 7,000 yards in their first eight seasons.
Claire, his wife, was present to see the historic performance. “SOS, all of my camera’s images are now blurry.” Nevertheless, we won,” she remarked, displaying her game attire. To view the embedded media, view the original article.
The 49ers are now 6-7 on the season with the victory, and with four games remaining, they are two games behind for the final Wild Card slot. Kittle thinks there is still a lot of hope for his club. According to him, “we still have everything in front of us to play for,” “I think we have put ourselves in a very excellent position to either win the division or somehow sneak our way into postseason contention if we win every single game…. I definitely think everybody in this building still believes.” “I know certain things might need to happen.” Next Sunday, San Francisco will play the Los Angeles Rams in a crucial NFC West matchup.
