to George Kittle for not getting him more opportunities in the second half to set an NFL record.The coach even said sorry a second time.Quarterback Nick Mullens placed the blame on himself after Kittle fell 4 yards short of Shannon Sharpe's NFL record by a tight end of 214 yards receiving.Kittle still had a brilliant Sunday afternoon http://www.redskinsfootballauthentics.com/jonathan-allen-jersey-authentic , making an 85-yard touchdown reception on the way to 210 yards receiving and becoming the 49ers' first tight end to reach the 1,000-yard milestone to lead San Francisco past the sluggish, injury-plagued Denver Broncos 20-14."Four yards, ahhh, it's all right," Kittle shrugged nonchalantly, unfazed by a near miss. "Next time. Just talk to Nick and Coach Shanahan, they'll figure it out."Kittle's long TD reception on a pass from Mullens early in the second quarter put the Niners up 13-0 鈥?"George flashed in my eyes," his QB said 鈥?and Denver (6-7) never found a groove in seeing its three-game winning streak snapped.Kittle had all of his yards and seven receptions in the first half and was targeted just once after halftime. Again, no big deal."We won. That's about all that matters," Kittle said.Broncos quarterback Case Keenum struggled to find any rhythm after the Broncos lost top wideout Emmanuel Sanders to a torn Achilles tendon in practice during the week.Dante Pettis added a 1-yard touchdown reception just before halftime for the Niners (3-10).But this was Kittle's sparkling afternoon from the very start. He has provided a major lift for an offense that dealt with the blow of losing starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Week 3 at Kansas City."We had one blown coverage, and a couple where we just didn't cover him," Broncos coach Vance Joseph said.Mullens connected on eight of his first 12 throws for 124 yards and wound up 20 of 33 for 332 yards and a 102.1 rating."George had one heck of a day, 4 yards short of the record. You can blame that on me, I guess," Mullens said.Denver (6-7), which sought its first four-game winning streak since starting the 2016 season 4-0 http://www.redskinsfootballauthentics.com/jordan-reed-jersey-authentic , fell behind 20-0 at halftime then managed two second-half touchdowns to make things interesting.Phillip Lindsay ran for a 3-yard score in the third then Case Keenum hit DaeSean Hamilton on a 1-yard TD toss with 3:53 remaining. Keenum went 24 of 42 for 186 yards.San Francisco ended a three-game skid. The 49ers had lost their previous two games by 18 and 27 points, including a 43-16 defeat at rival Seattle last week.SACK TIMEDenver's Von Miller sacked Mullens for a 9-yard loss late in the second quarter. Including the postseason, Miller's 103陆 sacks matched the franchise record held by Simon Fletcher.Meanwhile, linebacker Bradley Chubb had two more sacks for 12 on the season to break Miller's franchise rookie record of 11陆 set in 2011.KITTLE'S CATCHESThe previous time any 49ers player had 1,000 yards was in 2014, when Anquan Boldin had 1,062 yards receiving and Frank Gore 1,106 yards rushing.In addition, Kittle's 52-yard catch and run to end the first quarter moved him past Vernon Davis for the 49ers franchise record for yards receiving by a tight end in a season.Kittle came in needing 73 yards to top Davis' mark of 965 yards set in 2009."It's an honor. ... He set the standard," Kittle said.On San Francisco's nine-play opening scoring drive 鈥?capped by Robbie Gould's 40-yard field goal 鈥?Kittle made receptions of 31 and 5 yards.Gould made a 29-yarder early in the second.ANOTHER RECEPTIONNiners left tackle Joe Staley celebrated a rare catch, the third of his 12-year career, late in the first half when he got his hands on a tipped pass by a defender for a 5-yard loss.He will be fined for it, Shanahan insisted. Because of the chance of injury on such plays, trying for the ball isn't advised. Staley called it a "dumb decision," but explained it like this: "It's like telling me 'Hey, there's pizza here, don't have slice.' I'm going to have a slice.""Joe refuses to believe he's an O-lineman http://www.redskinsfootballauthentics.com/josh-norman-jersey-authentic ," Shanahan said. "... It was not a smart play."INJURIESBroncos: Cornerback Isaac Yiadom suffered a shoulder injury. Wideout Courtland Sutton nursed a thigh injury.49ers: Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon was able to return after landing hard on his left ankle late in the game when he went down defending a pass on the sideline.UP NEXTBroncos: Host Cleveland on Saturday.49ers: Host Seattle on Sunday. The Redskins went into Jacksonville riding a four game losing streak, but emerged victorious on Sunday, knocking off a struggling Jaguars team 16-13, while keeping their playoff hopes alive. It wasn’t pretty, but the offense controlled time of possession and didn’t turn the ball over, and the defense stepped up in a big way to hold the Jags offense to 192 total yards and no touchdowns. Below are my Studs and Duds or the game, followed by some notes. Studs:Jamison Crowder:Crowder led all receivers with four catches for 46 yards, but it was his concentration on a tipped pass late in the game that made the biggest difference. Ryan Kerrigan:Kerrigan continued his second half tear, recording six tackles (two for a loss), two sacks, a forced fumble, and multiple quarterback hits. He is now over double digit sacks for the third consecutive season, and four of the last five years. He also tied Charles Mann for second all-time in Redskins history for sacks. Jonathan Allen:Allen showed up in a BIG way after taking some recent criticism for his play over the past few weeks (I even saw some say he was the most over-rated player on this defense). He had five tackles (three for a loss), two sacks and multiple quarterback hits. It was his best game to date. Shaun Dion Hamilton:The rookie simply stands out amongst a poor linebacking corps. He flies to the football, shows great instincts and awareness and gets the ball carrier to the ground when he arrives. He still has some rookie moments out there, but make no mistake - this kid is going to be good. He recorded four tackles (a half tackle for a loss), half a sack and a quarterback hit.Dustin Hopkins:Three for three with a clutch game winner!Duds:Byron Marshall:Tell me again why we kept Marshall over Bibbs? He did however make a great tackle on the Jags punt return for a touchdown...just on the WRONG GUY! He had zero carries http://www.redskinsfootballauthentics.com/trent-williams-jersey-authentic , and caught just one pass on the day. Josh Doctson:Did anyone see him out there? I sure didn’t. Maurice Harris:A dropped pass and a muffed punt (which he luckily recovered). And to think we could have had Simmie Cobbs active instead of him...Morgan Moses:Morgan Moses’ play just keeps getting worse and worse by the game. Hell, he was playing better last year on two destroyed ankles! The poor blocking, penalties and effort are becoming very hard to watch. And to think, he was the Redskins offensive player of the year last season...wow, how the times have changed!Luke Bowanko:I know we are REALLY struggling with injuries along the offensive line right now, but there HAS to be a better option than Bowanko. He was absolutely embarrassing on Sunday. Zac Kerin:I didn’t think it was possible for a lineman to play worse than Bowanko, but Kerin proved me wrong. We would have been better playing Matt Flanagan at guard - at least he would have gotten in the way!Notes: - Josh Johnson had a very Alex Smith-like performance Sunday. Many of you won’t like to hear this, but guess what; when we don’t turn the ball over, control the clock and win time of possession, and keep our defense fresh, we win! - Gotta give credit to Jeremy Sprinkle for making a few key grabs in this game, but he was destroyed on some blocking attempts, and had a costly penalty.- Vernon Davis has definitely lost a step, and his inability to come down with contested catches is a concern.
