Ever wonder what an on-field exchange between 49ers star tight end George Kittle and Cleveland Browns star pass rusher Myles Garrett would look like?
Well, that chat between the pair of All-Pros took place during San Francisco’s Week 13 victory over Cleveland – and it was, as expected, enjoyable.
“How are you doing?” Garrett asked the star tight end.
“I’m just happy that I’m healthy playing football in November,” Kittle responded.
Love this interaction between Myles Garrett & George Kittle:
Garrett: I need you to stop chipping me if you don’t mind.
Kittle: Hell no. Your 5-sack game was crazy. Please don’t break the record today. I’ll tell Brock to give you 1.
Garrett: Maybe 2? 😂pic.twitter.com/wV3tFRMHa2

Garrett, arguably one of the NFL’s best pass rushers of his generation, is up to 19 sacks on the year and needs four over the final five weeks in order to pass Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt’s single-season sack record of 22.5 sacks.
So, to no surprise, Garrett playfully was going to plead to Kittle to tone down his blocking techniques against him.
“I just need you to stop chipping me, if you don’t mind,” Garrett jokingly pleaded.
“No. God no,” Kittle replied.
The 29-year-old Garrett has been a defensive nightmare since entering the league, earning Defensive Player of the Year in 2023, four First-Team All-Pro selections and six Pro Bowl selections over nine seasons.
In Week 8, Garrett registered a five-sack performance against the New England Patriots, and with that impressive performance in mind, Kittle was sure to make Garrett a silly request.
“Dude, your five-sack game was crazy. Keep going man, it was fun to watch. Please don’t break the record today,” Kittle said.
“O.K.,” Garrett responded.
“I’ll tell Brock to give you one [sack],” Kittle added.
“Maybe two?” Garrett asked.
Garrett ended up sacking 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy once and hitting him three times during the game.
Kittle called it.
