Claire Kittle and Kristin Juszczyk got their wish.
49ers tight end George Kittle and fullback Kyle Juszczyk ran to their wives for the ultimate touchdown celebration after Kittle brought it to the house to give San Francisco a 29-17 lead with less than seven minutes to play in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks.
Ahead of the 49ers’ 36-24 win over Seattle, Kristin said in a post on her Instagram Story that her and Claire, who were sitting in front row seats behind the goalpost, were hoping for a touchdown celebration with their husbands.
“Claire and I are dying for Kyle or George to score so they could jump to us,” Kristin, who is a fashion designer, said in her video. “Come on, we’re right here!”
When Kittle scored his second touchdown of the night, Juszczyk appeared to signal at their wives, who were cheering and calling them over to their seats.
Earlier, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy found Kittle for a 10-yard touchdown at the start of the second half to give them 23-3 lead.
It was Kittle’s fourth straight game with a touchdown reception.
“He’s a baller,” Purdy said of Kittle. “Obviously when you get the ball in his hands he can do what he can. He can break tackles. Just explosive for a tight end.”
Kittle finished with five receptions for 58 yards and two scores.
Juszczyk gave Kristin the football he scored the final touchdown of the game, and 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel joined in the celebration.
The 49ers’ critical division victory over Seattle moved them atop the NFC west.
The 49ers host the Chiefs (5-0) for a Super Bowl rematch on Oct. 20.
