George Kittle Bracing for Fine from NFL After 'Highly Emotional' Celebration in 49ers' Win vs. Cards

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was dominant during Sunday's 36-30 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, but his performance will likely cost him some money as well.

After his holding call negated a touchdown run from Brock Purdy, Kittle caught a touchdown and celebrated by throwing the ball into the crowd.

"That will probably cost me six grand," he said, per Michael Silver of The Athletic. "What can I say? I was highly emotional."

All that emotion helped him finish with six catches for 82 yards and two touchdowns in the 36-30 win. It was more of the same for the tight end who has 12 catches for 174 yards and three scores through three games this season.

San Francisco is 3-0 on the campaign, which will probably make his expected fine easier to deal with for Kittle.
