San Francisco 49ers\u00a0tight end Georgie Kittle, who\u00a0made history with Brock Purdy\u00a0on Sunday, had a one-on-one interview with Erin Andrews in which the topic of the\u00a0team’s slow start came up. The eight-year veteran revealed he wasn’t shocked by the 49ers’ difficult start to the season, just given the nature of the NFL.<\/p>\n

\u201cShock? No. Cause the NFL’s hard. It’s hard to win football games. There’s definitely pressure to succeed. You always feel that. Stuff happens. While that’s not our expectation and we’re not happy with a 2-2 record. Our only goal is we want to better in October than we were in September.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kittle, who didn’t play in Week 3, has been big piece of the 49ers offense to start the season. In three games, he collected 15 catches for 161 yards and two scores.<\/p>\n
In Week 5, he caught eight passes for 64 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n

Erin Andrews asked Kittle about the importance of having fun and how it affects his performance and team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think [having fun] is a testament to both (head coach) Kyle Shanahan and (president of football operations & general manager) John Lynch. They’ll handle it. I think coach Shanahan about letting guys be themselves, but applying pressure when he finds it necessary. You can tell he loves football. He always says, \u2018I love my family more, but I love football.’<\/p>\n
In Week 4, Kittle had some fun on the sideline with Brock Purdy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, I saw your Applebee’s commercial, you’re an actor,\u201d Kittle said. \u201cCan I get a discount code?\u201d<\/p>\n
