SANTA CLARA, Calif. — After penalties wiped away a pair of offensive touchdowns, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle finally struck pay dirt with one of the most acrobatic catches of his career against the Patriots.

Two penalties, including a holding call on Kittle that nullified a catch-and-run score from running back Jordan Mason, left the Niners with a third-and-10 from New England’s 12.

On the play, quarterback Brock Purdy scampered away from pressure and lobbed a pass to the back corner of the end zone. Kittle skied over three Patriots defenders, reeled it in and managed to control it all the way through for the catch and the score. The extra point made it 20-0 49ers with 3:11 left in the first half.
