The San Francisco 49ers beat the Washington Commanders 23-17 on Sunday Night Football on October 19, 2026, improving to 6-0 behind Brock Purdy, who now holds a 105.4 career passer rating. Washington fell to 1-4-1, turning the ball over on downs on a fourth-and-two when Jayden Daniels threw out of bounds. The discussion has moved to Dan Quinn, who appeared to call for the field goal team on that fourth down; Quinn said he knew it was fourth down and was answering a headset question about kicking after the illegal shift. A burned timeout the drive before cost Washington 40 seconds, and Daniels is 14-13-1 as a starter.
