Early in the first quarter of the San Francisco 49ers' Week 9 tilt with the Arizona Cardinals, George Kittle suffered a knee injury. After taking a short trip into the blue medical tent, the tight end returned and proceeded to make a big impact.
In the waning moments of the first quarter, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo found Kittle open on a slant to convert a first-down. Being a monster on Halloween, Kittle turned that slant into a 30-yard touchdown via a nasty stiff-arm on safety Budda Baker and a leap into the end zone.

Not even ghouls could chase down the monstrous tight end on that play. Ghouls don't have press techniques that can stop him at the line of scrimmage. Based on the highlight, Baker doesn't either.
Kittle's touchdown was his second reception of the night. After doing so, he has two receptions for 37 yards and the score. It was also his second touchdown of the 2019 season.
