Kittle caught all four of his targets for 45 yards including an improbable touchdown grab with three defenders around him. Three of the All-Pro’s reception were for a first down and two were contested.

Mason registered 24 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown with 57 yards coming after contact. The ball carrier received a lower score in pass…
