San Francisco 49ers stars George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk added a personal touch to their Thursday night celebrations by leaping into the stands to celebrate touchdowns with their wives during a 36-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The heartwarming moment came as the 49ers cruised to an important win, leveling their season record at 3-3.
Kittle, who had just scored his second touchdown of the game, initially appeared to finish his celebration on the field. However, teammate Juszczyk quickly pulled him back, pointing towards the nearby stands where their wives were seated.
Kittle spotted his wife, Claire, sitting alongside Juszczyk’s wife, Kristin, and the two players wasted no time racing over to share the moment with them. Both players leapt into the stands to hug their wives, who were laughing joyfully as the spontaneous celebration unfolded.
Moments later, Juszczyk followed up Kittle’s gesture with a celebration of his own. After scoring his own touchdown, he sprinted to the stands and handed the touchdown ball to Kristin, solidifying the memorable night. “What a nice guy, great friend,” Kittle joked on Amazon Prime’s post-game interview, referencing how Juszczyk had reminded him where his wife was seated. “Convenient that our wives were together. And then he did it—even better.”
Claire Kittle shared a video of the joyful moment on Instagram, captioning it, “TOUCHDOWN GEORGE!! Package deal,” as a friend captured the excitement from nearby. Meanwhile, Kristin Juszczyk shared the moment on her Instagram story, calling it the “Best night ever.”
Interestingly, Kristin had even shared a playful video on social media before the game, urging her husband and Kittle to celebrate with them if they scored touchdowns. “Claire and I are dying for one of Kyle and George to score,” she said. “Come on! We are right here!” The players delivered, making the night extra special for their families.

The victory was an important one for the 49ers, who are now tied with the Seahawks at the top of the NFC West. Quarterback Brock Purdy had an impressive game, throwing for 255 yards and three touchdowns.
Wide receiver Deebo Samuel also contributed, scoring a touchdown off a 76-yard pass from Purdy. Despite a commanding 20-point lead early in the second half, the Seahawks fought back to make it a closer game, but the 49ers held on for the win.
In more good news for San Francisco, star running back Christian McCaffrey is expected to return in November. McCaffrey, who has been sidelined all season due to tendonitis in both Achilles, could rejoin the team as they face a tough schedule ahead.
The 49ers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on October 20, a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl, followed by a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on October 27. After a bye week, McCaffrey could make his return in time for the November 10 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Off the field, Kristin Juszczyk has also made headlines in the past, designing Chiefs-themed jackets for Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes during last season’s playoff game against the Miami Dolphins.
The jackets featured the jersey numbers of their partners, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, demonstrating the close-knit relationships among the NFL families.
The night was a special one for the 49ers and their loved ones, with Kittle and Juszczyk’s heartfelt celebrations marking a memorable moment both on and off the field.
