A Week 16 NFC battle is underway as the Washington Commanders take on the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, California. The Chiefs saw a small win earlier Sunday with losses to the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks, but they have their work cut out for them against the NFL’s No. 1 defense.
The 49ers got a goal-line stop in the second quarter, then Ray-Ray McCloud scampered 71 yards to the house seven plays later for the game’s first touchdown. The Chiefs punched out, however, when Jahan Dotson scored a touchdown to cap off an impressive eight-play, 31-yard drive that came after a Brock Purdy interception.
Will Kyle Shanahan defeat his old team and extend the 49ers’ winning streak to eight, or will Taylor Heinicke get the Commanders going again with an upset victory? Follow along on the live blog below as we break down this matchup as it happens.
