George Kittle went into the San Francisco 49ers' Week 14 game with the Chicago Bears needing 77 receiving yards to reach 7,000 for his career.
He achieved that feat and then some in a dominant first half for the 49ers, who led 24-0 after the opening two quarters.
Kittle caught all five of his passes for 138 yards as the 49ers moved the ball with devastating ease in the first half.
The latest milestone for the 49ers' All-Pro means he is now just the third tight end in NFL history to reach 7,000 receiving yards and 500 catches in his first eight seasons.
Kittle joins Antonio Gates and Travis Kelce in the select group of tight ends to achieve that feat, furnishing an already tremendous resume that will have him firmly in the conversation for the Hall of Fame whenever he calls it a career.
