This was such a phenomenal catch. I wish it was ruled as such. That would have been 5 touchdowns by 5 different receivers.
I don’t understand why this was not reviewed.
Let’s start crying about it like we’re Ramily
Who is doing booth reviews for Kyle? Grant Cohn? Sure feels like he is sabotaging Kyle.
Tonges is legit. We don’t need to draft a TE in 2026
Wonder how many poor souls lost to CMC in fantasy because of this 💀
Shanny wasting the challenge on an irreversible play before that killed me.
Thats Shanahans fault. He could have challenged that.
The risk of losing a timeout on a challenge was too high at that point of the game. Glad he didn’t challenge it, even though it was a legit TD. Imagine if a couple fluke calls had let the Colts catch up and 49ers needed the time to set up a field goal.
NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!
Between this and the Aiyuk Drop against Seattle, that part of the end zone is cursed for Purdy and awesome throws.
Another highlight reel for the ages wiped out just like Aiyuk’s drop
The catch was great, but equally impressive was Brock’s play to get the ball there. Left 2 lineman on the ground with his rollout then fired a dot as he was up against the sideline
Sure looked good to me
Kyle should fire the guy who’s feeding him bad challenge calls. That was a clear TD. What a fucking joke.
Glad we scored on the very next play but I was really upset they didnt review that.
Literal tongs dude, picked that ball out the air.
Honestly Tonges needs to be used more in the passing game
They cut CMCs first tuddy from the highlight reel but show this replay lol. And the suss PI call. I think they use AI to splice those films so quick after the game and always be wrong.
Yeah but we got a CMC TD instead so I think it’s a fair trade

Kyle needs to get him in the offense more because dude has great hands and I just don’t get how he completely disappeared after Kittle came back
This would have been sweet redemption for Aiyuk dropping that crazy scramble drill TD pass against Seattle in the playoffs. Ugh! Good thing we scored right after.
Seahawks would’ve gotten that call.
look what they did to you jason
I think sometimes the refs are just like “nah this dude isn’t that nice no way he caught that”
Someone owes this dude a TD
This was a TD!
They didn’t take it from us. They chose not to challenge it.
Back to back TD plays from Purdy, as if he’s not great already.
But this one cements Tonges as a pass threat if he wasn’t considered such.
He may not be as great as Kittle but who the hell is?
The tongue man is low-key a dawg
Frankly im not confident those refs reverse it
Has anybody actually reviewed the film on that to confirm his right toe hit the ground **after** he had the ball in his hands?
Left toe? Definitely. Caught the ball and controlled?yes. His right toe was absolutely dragging just before he caught the ball. Yet, it does lift off the ground – was it simultaneous with ball control?
No doubt it was an incredible catch. Shanahan in presser said that hurry up offense and a little hesitancy after failed prior challenge is why he didn’t challenge. Doesn’t matter given next play, although sorry if Tonges was “robbed.” So I’m just curious if anyone has seen video review confirming right toe drag – sufficient to overturn call on the field.
Robbery 😒
They should’ve at least ruled it a catch so they can automatically review it to get a better look since it’s a scoring play
I really thought all potential TDs get reviewed automatically
Yo I straight up said pass it to Tonges RIGHT BEFORE this play. I was with my family and they were amazed but yea, Shanahan is known to challenge bad plays lol
Question: Why did they just immediately run another play? There was no pause, no thought, no questioning. Brock just called the huddle play, hustled up to the line, and got a play off.
Agree this was a legit TD, at least worth a closer look. But the 9ers took this away from themselves.
Was his right foot down? The replays didn’t show it clearly.
Ray Charles & Stevie Wonder could see that was a TD, it’s just the refs that couldn’t 🙄
Where Aiyuk failed, Tonges delivered.
Yeah but we scored the very next play.. I would’ve been pissed if we didn’t and lost possession
ball don’t lie cmc still scored
If only Kyle wasn’t dog shit at challenges.
Guaranteed the coaches have this screenshot and will give Tonges his credit during film/meetings this week. What a damn catch he got robbed of!
