Positive signalMatchup

Kittle should exploit Downs in the middle like McBride did; weak slot coverage matchup.

Kittle is positioned to exploit rookie Caleb Downs in the middle of the field. The source uses Kittle as a direct comparison to Trey McBride, noting that Downs was no match for McBride on a 3rd-and-6 target, implying Kittle will have similar success against the Cowboys' weak slot coverage. The 49ers' offense thrives over the middle, and Downs has nowhere to hide against this scheme.
