A closer look at “Brock Purdy Sets NFL Record as 49ers Edge Commanders 23-17 to Stay Perfect at 6-0”, exactly as the source publishes it. The San Francisco 49ers improved to 6-0 with a hard-fought 23-17 victory over the Washington Commanders on Monday night, but it was quarterback Brock Purdy who made history. Purdy became the highest-rated passer in NFL history, surpassing legends like Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers, after throwing a touchdown pass in the win. Christian McCaffrey added two rushing touchdowns, and the 49ers built a 20-point lead before holding off a late Commanders rally.
Washington, now 1-4-1, got a strong effort from quarterback Sam Howell but came up short on two late drives. The 49ers’ defense made key stops to preserve the win, continuing their best start since 1990. With Purdy’s record-setting efficiency and a balanced offense, San Francisco looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender as they head into a tough stretch of games.
