Jauan Jennings, George Kittle play angry as 49ers offense pummels Bears

The 49ers are delivering a vintage offensive performance against the Bears, thanks largely to George Kittle and Jauan Jennings.

In the aftermath of the San Francisco 49ers' Week 13 road loss to the Buffalo Bills, general manager John Lynch effectively called out the team by saying it needed to respond after dropping three games in a row, two of which were in blowout fashion.

Apparently, the Niners needed that pep talk.

San Francisco welcomed the 4-8 Chicago Bears in Week 14, hoping to take full advantage of a team in transition after firing head coach Matt Eberflus a week ago. To do so, the 49ers would have to turn to two of their best weapons, tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Jauan Jennings.

So far, both Kittle and Jennings have responded and then some.

Jennings has looked like the vintage receiver he was early in the season when multi-score games were a regular occurrence. Well before the half, "Third and Jauan" already scored two touchdowns, including a nifty 16-yard catch-and-run score that increased the Niners' lead out to 21-0 just halfway into the second quarter:

With Brandon Aiyuk out with ACL and MCL tears, as well as Deebo Samuel's noticeable decline in production, Jennings has emerged as San Francisco's best pure wide receiver.

However, Kittle might have something to say about Jennings being the 49ers' best receiving option.

After having just one catch for 7 yards in the loss to Buffalo, Kittle was justified in being angry and wanting more involvement.

Somehow, Week 14 reminded the Niners of just how big a weapon Kittle is, and he already went up over 100 yards just a few minutes into the second quarter and was approaching 150 before the half.

Good thing Kittle was angry. And Jennings, who seemingly plays angry every week anyway, was also instrumental in ensuring San Francisco's offensive slump wouldn't continue against the Bears.
