George Kittle had a historic night during the San Francisco 49ers' 25-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The All-Pro tight end hauled in 15 passes on 15 targets for 183 yards and a score. The performance also marked the first time in NFL history a tight end has registered 15-or-more receptions and 175-or-more receiving yards in a single game.

Pro Football Focus released its grades from Sunday's game, and Kittle earned the game's highest grade for either team from the analytics site.

On defense, D-lineman Kevin Givens earned the highest grade, albeit on limited snaps. The highest-graded defender with a significant number of snaps was defensive end Kerry Hyder, who finished the game with four tackles, a quarterback hit, and 0.5 sacks, per Pro Football Reference.

The lowest-graded player for either team was 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens, who was benched late in the game and replaced by C.J. Beathard.
