The San Francisco 49ers topped the Washington Commanders 24-10 in Week 6 of the 2026 season, solidifying their position as a formidable contender in the league. With playoff aspirations on the line, the 49ers delivered a strong performance that showcased their offensive prowess and defensive resilience. Brock Purdy was the standout performer for San Francisco, throwing for 192 yards and three touchdowns, effectively orchestrating the offensive attack. Christian McCaffrey contributed significantly on the ground with 81 rushing yards, while Ricky Pearsall emerged as a key target in the passing game, racking up 84 receiving yards. Together, they formed a potent combination that kept the Commanders' defense on its heels throughout the game. Defensively, the 49ers made crucial stops, highlighted by Alfred Collins’ sack that disrupted Washington's rhythm at a pivotal moment. The turning point came late in the second quarter when San Francisco scored a touchdown to extend their lead to two possessions, a gap the Commanders struggled to close thereafter. With Leo Chenal leading the way for Washington with five tackles, it wasn't enough to overcome the 49ers' balanced attack and solid defensive effort.
