Again, I don't and never saw it as a "battle of the TE's", but clearly Kittle was more of a difference maker even though he didn't score a TE and Schultz did. Realistically Kittle vs. Lamb were the only effective weapons on the two teams, and they kind of offset each other, so I would say it came down to Purdy making fewer mistakes than Dak.

There was never a point in that game that I thought we had a chance because our target leader Schultz started out having an off night and ended having an off night.
His TD was very miniscule in this game compared to his performance.
I knew his 10 targets on avg would have to make the difference because that's our gameplan every week trend wise and playoffs!!
And Dak gave him those 10 opportunities to be a hero. It was his destiny to get those 10 targets Rogers. Js
But Schultz had hit a hot streak in TB and against the Titans practice squad team. Lol.
And his streaks of success only last a game maybe 2 if the defense has a weak lb core 2 weeks in a row
He caught a sf team with a good LB core and Schultz'kowski folded like a cheap suit like the great #82 in 8 playoff games
Because he couldn't match up against a good LB core
If there was any one Player who made the difference in this game it wasn't either of these 2 game mgr qbs.
Fred Warner and their lb was the difference imo
He schooled alot of players besides Schultzkowski. Js
Their defense was just better at stopping our offense than ours was theirs.
Pretty conservative dink and dunk gameplans by both teams to attack the lb core. And sf's lb core shut us down when it mattered.
