San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught his first NFL pass during Sunday's 17-11 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. As a bonus, it was also his first NFL touchdown.

"It was just an unbelievable moment... All glory to God," Jennings said after the game. "I'm just thankful just for the opportunity."

So, what happened to the football?

"It's gone," Jennings said. "I don't know where it's at."

George Kittle to the rescue.

According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, the 49ers' All-Pro tight end took care of his teammate. Unbeknownst to Jennings, Kittle grabbed the football and made sure it was taken care of.

It sounds like Kittle had his teammate's back and made sure that football didn't get lost in the chaos following the big play in an opponent's stadium.

What a pathetic performance by the San Francisco 49ers. The offense was horrid and the defense, even though they played well for three quarters, couldn't hold off the Los Angeles Rams in the final quarter, as the 49ers lost 12-6. The loss didn't mathematically eliminate the...
