The San Francisco 49ers steamrolled the Cleveland Browns with a commanding 26-8 win at Huntington Bank Field, roaring ahead in the NFC West race against rivals Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams before their adrenaline-pumping Week 14 clash with the Tennessee Titans.
Following this dominant win, the events surrounding the Week 13 matchup continued to reverberate, especially after the release of a viral clip showing an amazing interaction between Myles Garrett, George Kittle, and Brock Purdy.
George Kittle Pleaded for Mercy to Avoid Sacks From Myles Garrett
Building on the media frenzy sparked by this video, the footage captured by in-game microphones during the 49ers’ victory highlighted that Garrett was on a hot streak, having recorded 13 sacks in his last four games, including a five-sack performance against the New England Patriots.
Due to Garrett’s dominant recent performances, Kittle decided to adopt a lighter approach. Adopting a joking tone, he praised the tight end for his previous week’s showing and told him not to go too hard on Brock Purdy, suggesting the quarterback would probably be happy with just one sack.
In response, Garrett jokingly doubled down by asking for at least two sacks, which turned out to be a key moment in their interaction.
Love this interaction between Myles Garrett & George Kittle:
Garrett: I need you to stop chipping me if you don’t mind.
Kittle: Hell no. Your 5-sack game was crazy. Please don’t break the record today. I’ll tell Brock to give you 1.
Garrett: Maybe 2? 😂pic.twitter.com/wV3tFRMHa2

Garrett quipped, ‘I need you to stop chipping me if you don’t mind.’ Without missing a beat, Kittle fired back, ‘Hell no. Your 5-sack game was crazy. Please don’t break the record today. I’ll tell Brock to give you 1.’ The DE raised the stakes with a grin, ‘Maybe 2?’
Despite the playful exchange captured in the video, the 49ers’ TE, who currently ranks 9th in the PFSN TE Impact metric with a B grade, had to overcome the windy conditions and delivered a strong performance.

Featured in the NFL’s viral clip, Garrett drew positive attention after adding a sack to his season total, reaching 19 sacks in 13 weeks overall.
In addition to the highlight, another standout of this matchup was Christian McCaffrey, who scored a touchdown (bringing his season total to 13), even though he had a below-par performance with only 53 rushing yards, including just nine in the entire first half.
Finally, running back Quinshon Judkins extended his lead as the best rookie running back with 91 rushing yards.
Yet, the 49ers’ big win ended up overshadowing Shedur Sanders’ performance. Against one of the worst defenses in the league, the QB completed only 16 of 25 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown in his second game as the Browns’ starter.
