The San Francisco 49ers continued to ride with Brock Purdy against the Washington Commanders on Christmas Eve.
The rookie quarterback led a 99-yard drive that opened the scoring as Ray-Ray McLeod did the bulk of the work with a 71-yard scoring run.

Midway through the third quarter, the Niners led the Commanders, 14-7, in a game the visitors needed in the playoff race.
Purdy found Kittle for another touchdown before Taylor Heinicke connected with Terry McLaurin to bring Washington within 21-14.
Dashing through the end zone (again)! @gkittle46
