The star tight end reflected on Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson’s injuries following San Francisco’s NFC Championship loss.
On a day where injuries derailed the 49ers offense, George Kittle summed the outing up with a brutally honest assessment following Sunday’s 31–7 loss to the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.
The star tight end contributed three catches for 32 yards in the contest, though it’s fair to wonder if Kittle’s impact may have been greater had quarterback Brock Purdy not suffered an early-game elbow injury.

The Eagles will take on the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, here’s how to watch
Super Bowl LVII is now set.
The Philadelphia Eagles punched their ticket to Super Bowl LVII with a 31-7 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. It is the fourth time in franchise history that the Eagles have advanced to the Super Bowl, with their most recent trip coming at the end of the 2017 NFL season. In Super Bowl LII, the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots to earn their first Super Bowl title.

Patrick Mahomes battled through that nagging ankle injury and Harrison Butker drilled the winning 45-yard FG to book Kansas City’s ticket to Super Bowl LVII.

KANSAS CITY — Patrick Mahomes, battling a high ankle sprain, didn’t pass for the win. He ran.
The gimpy Chiefs quarterback ran for nine yards and then picked up a 15 yard flag for being hit out of bounds to put the Chiefs in field goal range.
And when Harrison Butker kicked the 45-yarder, the Chiefs won this AFC Championship Game.
Chiefs 23.
Bengals 20.
Four times the Cincinnati Bengals had trailed the Chiefs in the four games the teams have played the past calendar year. And four times the Bengals overcame the deficit.
But this time the Chiefs got the last word.

The 49ers were forced to rely on an injured Brock Purdy after initially losing him and then fourth-string quarterback Josh Johnson in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.

The Celtics picked up a pivotal 125–121 overtime victory over the visiting Lakers on Saturday night at TD Garden in Boston, but the story of the game was the missed foul call on LeBron James as he drove to the hoop at the end of regulation.
James, who finished with a game-high 41 points, got to the rim at the end of the regulation and appeared to be fouled by Celtics star Jayson Tatum.

The NFL playoffs continue Sunday with the Bengals battling the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

The AFC Championship between the Bengals and the Chiefs is coming down to the wire. The birth of the NFL’s next great rivalry is unfolding before the eyes of likely over 500 million Americans.
The game has been incredible and there isn’t enough time and space to explain all the subplots. But, out of nowhere, the NFL officials come sweeping in to make a ridiculous and confusing call that sends everyone into apoplectic shock.
With the score tied 20-20 with around 10 minutes left in the game, the Chiefs faced a third-and-9 from their own territory.

The Eagles are in the Super Bowl — less than six months after the Phillies made the World Series and the Union made the MLS Cup Final.

He learned not to “do the conformist thing” from Red Auerbach. And that’s why he and Howie Roseman have mastered melding an inexpensive quarterback with a new coaching staff.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie stood, hands clasped, in a navy suit and green tie. Around him, the room reeked of cigar smoke. His voice barely rose over the loud smacking of hands on backs, grown men securing one another in loud embraces, or people commenting on the Prince-purple pants Jalen Hurts had decided to wear to the podium (“too much,” joked one coach).
Lurie was talking about success.
