Purdy leads 49ers to 8th straight win

QB hooks up with Kittle for two TD passes in victory

SANTA CLARA, California — Brock Purdy shook off a sluggish first half and did what he has done since taking over as starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers: He delivered big plays.

Purdy threw two more long touchdown passes to George Kittle and the 49ers beat the Washington Commanders 37-20 on Saturday for their eighth straight win.

"He's just getting the ball to us," Kittle said. "He's great with the football. He puts it on target. He allows guys to run with it. He's super savvy in the backfield, makes guys miss.
