Story summary

49ers lose to Falcons 29-20, ending their undefeated start; Kendal Daniels makes crucial interception and recovers fumble. Brock Purdy throws two interceptions, one by rookie LB Kendal Daniels. Daniels had team-high 11 tackles in his first game back after being stretchered off last week. Michael Penix Jr. throws three TD passes as Falcons snap two-game skid. Turnovers prove costly for San Francisco who turn ball over four times in opponents' territory. Defensive struggles and mistakes lead to first loss of season, sending them into bye week at 6-1. Falcons win lifts them to 3-4 with big play from Daniels.
