49ers' George Kittle: Scores first touchdown of season in loss

Kittle caught six of eight passes for 125 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers.

Kittle was wide open in the middle of the field and had to make just one defender miss on his 82-yard catch-and-run touchdown to bring the 49ers within two points of the lead in the third quarter. The 24-year-old paced the team in receptions, targets and yards on the day and now has at least 79 yards in three of four games this season. The Iowa product ought to continue drawing a large share of the targets with his former college teammate C.J. Beathard now under center, getting his next opportunity in a home game Week 5 against Arizona.
