Wide Open Score Over the Middle vs. Cleveland Browns (2019)
On 2nd-and-9 from Cleveland's 22-yard line, Garoppolo connected with Kittle wide open over the middle for the easy score to put the game out of reach for the Browns. The 49ers went on to dominate the outing, 31-3.
"Oh, it was awesome," Kittle said. "We can do a lot out of our 22 personnel, which is great. That's a lot on Kyle Juszczyk and a lot on our other tight ends. When we get in that, when we are able to run the ball for 280 yards, you know like I said, it sets up our pass game. That last play was a pretty simple play. I just got a through route, which is the safeties if they are split, you go down the middle and it was pretty awesome. On the motion, both safeties looked the opposite direction and pretty sure I knew it was, I mean, I thought it was a touchdown before they even said hike. (Joe) Staley said that Shanahan, as soon as we said hike, he turned around and just called touchdown. So, that was pretty cool. You've got to ask him about that."
