NFL Playoffs 2020: 20 Bold predictions for Conference Championships

18. Kittle finishes with more than 100 receiving yards
Has George Kittle made it official over being the best pass-catching tight end in the NFL after another impressive 2019 campaign?
Without question, Kittle has done an incredible job in making life easier for Jimmy Garoppolo on offense, and if the tight end’s first meeting with the Green Bay Packers in the regular season is any indication of what to expect Sunday, the 49ers should be in great shape.
During that impressive win over Green Bay, Kittle was a monster for San Francisco on offense by catching six passes for 129 yards to go along with a score.
And even though the circumstances will be a bit different for the second meeting since a trip to the Super Bowl is on the line, this shouldn’t prevent Kittle from putting together another similar outing.
Watching Kittle develop into one of the league’s top tight ends over the last two years has been incredible to witness, and the scary factor is he only seems to be scratching the surface of what should be a promising career.
Plenty of factors will come into play to determine whether the 49ers can earn a trip to Miami in a few weeks, and right near the top of that list is Kittle’s play.
