Luckily, the 49ers pulled it off in overtime
Things went from good to bad very quickly for the San Francisco 49ers during Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
In a 20-20 game with seconds to spare, Jimmy Garoppolo connected with George Kittle for a 19-yard pass — made possible only by an unbelievable grab from the tight end, who literally bent over backwards — to get San Francisco into field goal territory with 13 seconds left in regulation.
After two failed passes from Garoppolo, the 49ers were depending on kicker Robbie Gould for a 47-yard game winner. Naturally, he missed it and the game went to overtime.
Thankfully, the 49ers survived overtime thanks to a Brandon Aiyuk touchdown, earning a 26-23 win.
