The score marked McCaffrey’s ninth touchdown since joining the 49ers mid-season.Getty Images In his sixth NFL season, Kittle caught 60 passes for 765 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns, carving out a significant role in the 49ers’ offense, despite three different quarterbacks and a plethora of receiving options — from McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel to Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings — to make his fourth Pro Bowl.
