Brandon Aiyuk said he thought a ladybug blessed the San Francisco 49ers with luck in their NFC title game comeback, and that in itself was kind of hard to argue with. But it seems that George Kittle might have manifested the 17-point rally before it even happened with the use of a hilarious meme.
In a new clip from Inside the NFL, a mic’d-up Kittle is seen thinking about the “they had us in the first half meme” with various 49ers teammates on the sideline … in the first half. He spoke it into existence and was bragging about calling it during the 49ers’ postgame as they celebrated their Super Bowl 58 berth on the field.
What a call:
Kittle really told everyone they “had us in the first half” 😂@insidetheNFL | Tuesdays 8/7c on @TheCW pic.twitter.com/m8V0xvrf4k

Once again, Kittle is so right. The Lions did have the 49ers in the first, and you can’t lie. But amusing leaders like Kittle just wouldn’t let that happen.
Kittle: I cannot wait to say “they had us in the first half”

George Kittle is the perfect representation of the pinnacle of sports when it comes to attitude and resilience. Every coach yearns for a player with this mindset.
The same man that said “I’ll be back with a vengeance” as he watched his first Super Bowl slip away. #49ers https://t.co/syI0y6UgKE— Rob Lowder (@Rob_Lowder) January 30, 2024
