Purdy leads 49ers to sixth straight win over Commanders

Brock Purdy threw a touchdown pass and Christian McCaffrey scored twice as the San Francisco 49ers edged the Washington Commanders 23-17 on Monday night. The victory marked the 49ers' sixth consecutive win to start their NFL season.

The 49ers remain unbeaten at the top of the NFL standings with a perfect 6-0 record and a goal difference of +67. Their recent form includes wins over teams such as the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos, reinforcing their status as NFC West leaders.

Washington Commanders, based in the Washington D.C. area, are 15th in the NFL with one win, one draw and four losses, including their latest defeat to the 49ers. Their recent results show a challenging campaign with a goal difference of -40.

San Francisco now prepare to face the Atlanta Falcons on 25 October. The Falcons have yet to play this season, and the match will test the 49ers' ability to maintain their unbeaten run in the NFL.
