George Kittle’s 44-yard touchdown catch on fourth-and-2 against the Rams would’ve blown the non-existent roof off of Levi’s Stadium. Instead, because of the pandemic, his jaunt into the end zone was met mostly by silence.
This has become the norm for most teams across the NFL with fans either non-existent or very limited in stadiums. Still, even after three consecutive home games with the seats full of eerily silent cardboard cutouts, Kittle hasn’t gotten fully used to the quiet.
