San Francisco 49ers stars leap into stands to celebrate a touchdown with their wives in Seattle Seahawks win
San Francisco 49ers stars George Kittle and Kyle Jusczcyk leapt into the stands to celebrate scoring touchdowns with their wives as they led their team to a 36-24 win over Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.
Kittle had just scored his second touchdown of the game but appeared to finish celebrating before teammate Jusczcyk pulled him back and pointed to the seats nearby.
Kittle immediately spotted his wife Claire, who was sat next to Jusczcyk’s partner Kristin. The teammates raced over together and leapt up to hug their wives, who were laughing hysterically.
Moments after Kittle scored, Jusczcyk got in on the act and celebrated his touchdown by leaping up towards Kristin and giving her his touchdown ball.
‘What a nice guy, great friend,’ Kittle joked on Amazon Prime of Jusczcyk reminding him of where his wife was sat. ‘Convenient that our wives were together. And then he did it – even better.’

Claire shared video of the moment, filmed by a nearby friend, to Instagram with the caption: ‘TOUCHDOWN GEORGE!! Package deal.’
Jusczcyk shared a video of the moment on her Instagram story with the caption: ‘Best night ever.’
The Thursday night victory takes the 49ers to 3-3 for the season. Quarterback Brock Purdy threw 255 yards for three touchdowns, with Deebo Samuel also scoring a TD for his team from Brock Purdy’s 76-yard touchdown pass.
There was still some nervy moments for San Francisco. The 49ers opened a 20-point gap early in the second half, only for the Seahawks to twice bring the game back within a score.
But in a further piece of good news for the niners, their star running back Christian McCaffrey is expected to return to the team in November.
McCaffrey has missed every game for his team so far this season due to tendonitis in both of his Achilles.
Next, they face the Kansas City Chiefs on October 20 in a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl in California. After that, they take on the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 27 followed by a bye week.
Last season, Kristin Jusczcyk designed Chiefs-themed jackets for Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes to wear at a playoff game against Miami Dolphins.
They had the jersey numbers of their partners, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, emblazoned across them.
