Fast start carries San Francisco
San Francisco stayed unbeaten with a 23-17 win over Washington in Week 6, improving to 6-0 ahead of its visit to Atlanta. The Commanders fell to 1-4-1 despite a 300-yard, two-touchdown passing performance from Jayden Daniels. The 49ers established control early, outscoring Washington 13-3 in the first quarter and adding seven unanswered points in the second for a 20-3 halftime lead. That cushion proved decisive. Washington outscored San Francisco 14-3 after halftime, including 7-0 in the fourth quarter, but could not erase the deficit. San Francisco followed wins over Denver and Seattle with another victory. Washington has gone three straight games without a win, following a loss to Indianapolis and a tie with the Giants.
McCaffrey supplies the scoring punch
Christian McCaffrey powered San Francisco with 16 carries for 64 yards and two rushing touchdowns. He also caught nine of 10 targets for 53 yards, finishing with 117 yards from scrimmage on 25 touches. Brock Purdy completed 21 of 29 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown, adding 28 rushing yards on five attempts. George Kittle caught five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown, while Mike Evans gained 94 yards on just three receptions. Daniels completed 29 of 40 attempts for Washington. Chig Okonkwo caught all seven of his targets for 69 yards, and Treylon Burks added 66 yards on four catches. Stefon Diggs and Rachaad White each caught a touchdown pass.
