San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle shared a somber post after he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during the team’s playoff win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Kittle shared photos on Instagram of himself in the locker room with his wife, Claire, getting carted off the field and a panel from the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes."

"Football sucks sometimes," the star tight end wrote. "But I love it. I love these guys and this team. Heartbroken but have felt so much love and support from everyone reaching out. I’ll be good. Thank you. We aren’t done yet!

"Also when your team owner is the first person to meet you in the locker room, you know you’re in a special place."

Kittle had one catch for six yards in the win. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that Kittle had suffered a torn Achilles and will miss the rest of the playoffs.

The seven-time Pro Bowler finished his ninth season with San Francisco. He played 11 games and had 57 catches for 628 yards and seven touchdowns. He did miss some time with several injuries over the course of the season, starting with a torn hamstring.

He was a key piece in keeping the 49ers afloat while the entirety of the roster battled through injuries.

San Francisco finished 12-5 and will take on the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Round.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., directed some heated remarks at a Trump administration Cabinet official whose department has been dominating headlines in recent weeks.

"What is clear is that Kristi Noem is completely and totally unqualified. She should have never been confirmed by Senate Republicans," Jeffries said of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary during a Monday press conference. "It's disgraceful that she's there. She should be run out of town as soon as possible."

Criticism against Noem, DHS, and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has intensified on the left in the wake of a deadly ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis last week.

An ICE agent shot and killed a U.S. citizen, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who allegedly presented a threat to ICE agents as they attempted to conduct enforcement operations. Partisan fissures have since erupted over which side was acting improperly when the deadly incident occurred.

"Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security and ICE, they're totally out of control. And the American people want these extremists to be reined in," Jeffries said on Monday.

He said Good "should be alive today" and accused both Noem and the ICE agent who shot Good of a "depraved indifference toward human life."

HOUSE REPUBLICAN CALLS FOR HEARING AFTER DEADLY ICE SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS

Video of last week's incident appears to show Good's car making contact with the ICE agent who shot her before he opened fire. Arguments have since raged over whether she was deliberately getting in the way or even weaponizing her car, or whether she was trying to drive away.

Federal officials like Noem have defended the agent as acting in self-defense while accusing Good of trying to actively impede ICE activity in the Democrat-controlled city.

Democrats, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, have accused ICE and Republican officials of stoking fear and tension in the city while demanding the federal government cease current operations there immediately.

Now Democrats in Congress have been threatening to withhold support from funding DHS unless significant reforms are made — a threat Jeffries alluded to during his press conference.

"What's in front of us right now is a spending bill that will go either one of two ways. Either Republicans will continue their my-way-or-the-highway approach as it relates to the Homeland Security bill — and if that happens, then it's going to be on them to figure out a path forward," Jeffries began.

"Alternatively, particularly in the face of the tragedy…there's some commonsense measures that need to be put in place so that ICE can conduct itself in a manner that is at least consistent with every other law enforcement agency in the United States of America, at the state, local and federal level."

The deadline to finish federal funding and avert a partial government shutdown is at the end of day on Jan. 30.
