During the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 14 overtime victory against the Cincinnati Bengals (26-23), tight end George Kittle led all pass catchers with 13 receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown. With this performance, he became the first tight end in NFL history to record at least 150 receiving yards and a touchdown reception in consecutive games.
Kittle totaled nine receptions, 181 yards and two touchdowns in Week 13 against Seattle.
Now on display in the Hall’s Pro Football Today Gallery are the gloves and cleats Kittle used against the Bengals when he set this record. He previously had items on display in Canton from 2019 when he set the single-season record for most receiving yards by a tight end (1,377).
