Zach Ertz vs. George Kittle

I'm not looking to compare the two TE's, but it's hard to overlook the fact that the Cards seemed to focus on Ertz and Green early on in the game. Thereafter, not a peep from Ertz as Conner seemed to become Murray's favorite target.

Did we do anything after the first quarter to take Ertz out of the game. And, if so, is it applicable to Kittle (or, is he just another animal altogether)?
