The 49ers have lost 10 of the last 13 games George Kittle missed since November 2020. This highlights the significant impact of Kittle's absence on the team's performance.
Kittle has been a difference-maker against the Seahawks, scoring seven touchdowns in his last five meetings, including two touchdowns in their previous matchup this season.
The team stands at a worrying 7-11 without Kittle since 2017. His injuries are critical to the 49ers' chances, especially considering their reliance on him in tight games.
With key players like Trent Williams and Nick Bosa also battling injuries, the struggle for the 49ers becomes evident, making Kittle's presence even more essential for team morale.
