Brock Purdy led the San Francisco 49ers to a narrow 23-17 victory over the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football, extending the 49ers' perfect season record to six wins. Despite maintaining their undefeated status, the team emphasized areas needing improvement after nearly losing their substantial lead late in the game.
Purdy set an NFL record for highest passer rating and completed 21 of 29 passes for 264 yards with one touchdown. The defense played a crucial role by making critical stops in the fourth quarter to preserve the win, including sacks by Keion White and Ogbo Okoronkwo on the Commanders' final drive.
The 49ers showed concern about their execution, particularly highlighting mistakes such as McCaffrey's fumble near the red zone and Kittle's dropped pass. The team also pointed out issues with special teams play and emphasized the need for continued improvement despite their impressive start to the season. Kyle Shanahan acknowledged that there is much work left to be done to maintain their strong position in the NFC West.
