George Kittle steals Thanksgiving turkey on NBC broadcast
George Kittle wanted to share his blessings on Thanksgiving after the San Francisco 49ers’ win over the Seattle Seahawks.
The 49ers had a lot to be thankful for after a 31-13 win over the Seahawks at Lumen Field in Seattle, Wash.
The NBC broadcast prepared an actual cooked turkey for the contest. While some players were able to get a few bits and pieces, Kittle wanted the whole thing. The tight end stormed off the field with the entire fowl on a silver platter.
But before racing off to the locker room, Kittle stopped right at the tunnel entrance and shared some with the fans.

A turkey leg courtesy of Kittle probably wasn’t the souvenir 49ers fans were expecting Thursday, but it’s definitely one worth being thankful for.
Kittle finished with 3 catches for 19 yards.
If there was anyone on the 49ers who deserved the whole turkey on Thursday, it was probably Christian McCaffrey.
The Niners running back rushed for 114 yards on 19 carries with 2 touchdowns in the win. But after the joke everyone made about McCaffrey during the contest, it’s unclear if turkey is a part of the All-Pro’s diet.
