Kyle Shanahan picked a great time to call a trick play. A double reverse pass to Deebo Samuel gained 21 yards. Puni would have yet another penalty on 3rd & short. It looked as though Brendel The four penalties by the offensive line matched their total against Seattle in Week 11.
But the offense once again overcame penalties, as Allen found Kittle for a first down. That wouldn’t be the last time the two connected, as Allen threw it to Kittle for a touchdown, and that made it 17-7. That was Kittle’s eighth touchdown of the season.
It was an 11-play, 65-yard drive that took over five minutes off the clock. The offense looked like they had life. Could they carry that over into the second half?
Isaac Yiadom was burned for a touchdown, but Christian Watson dropped it. That was the break the Niners needed. The score remained a 10-point game heading into the second half.
