The San Francisco 49ers held off a second-half rally by the Washington Commanders to win 23-17 in the Week 6 Monday Night Football game on October 19 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. San Francisco improved to 6-0, while Washington fell to 1-4-1.
The 49ers dominated the first half. Quarterback Brock Purdy hit tight end George Kittle for a touchdown on the opening drive, and running back Christian McCaffrey scored two rushing touchdowns in the game. San Francisco led 20-3 at halftime, outgaining Washington 303 yards to 90 in the half, according to NBC Sports. Kicker Eddy Piñeiro added a field goal late in the third quarter to make it 23-3.
Washington rallied behind quarterback Jayden Daniels, who threw two second-half touchdown passes as the Commanders outgained San Francisco 224 yards to 72 after halftime. With 1:54 remaining, Daniels' fourth-down throw to Treylon Burks in the end zone from the San Francisco 17 was broken up by safety Malik Mustapha. Washington's final drive reached the 49ers' 28 before Daniels was called for intentional grounding and then sacked by Ogbo Okoronkwo and Romello Height on the last snap. Purdy finished with 264 passing yards and one touchdown.
