DOES EVERYTHING EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. >> Adam: HE GETS THE FIRST TOUCH OF THE GAME AND IT’S A GOOD ONE. TURNS THE CORNER AND POUNCES AWAY FOR 9. KEEPING THEMSELVES IN FRONT OF THE CHAINS. SECOND DOWN AND SHORT. >> Adam: THEY CAN RUN EASILY. ANOTHER FIRST DOWN WITH THE LEADING RUSHER IN THE NFL WHO’S GOT OVER 1400 YARDS ON THE GROUND THIS SEASON AND 21 TOTAL HE WAS THE ONLY GUY THAT HAD MULTIPLE INTERCEPTIONS. FOUR FIRST DOWNS ON THE OPENING DRIVE FOR THE NINERS AND McCAFFREY WILL GET CLOSE TO THE FIFTH IF NOT GET IT. >> Adam:
MIGHT BE THE BEST INTERIOR TANDEM IN THE LEAGUE. ON THIRD AND LONG. PURDY. SCRAMBLING OUTSIDE THE POCKET. TRYING TO BUY TIME. STOPPING AND THROWING AND A DANGEROUS PASS BUT HARMLESS WABL ABLE TO MAKE IT. >> Adam: GOING TO LEAD TO A 38 YARD FIELD GOAL TRY BY JAKE MOODY. HE JUST SNUCK IT INSIDE TO REMAIN PERFECT ON FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS INSIDE OF 40 YARDS. HE’S NOW 14 OF 14. THEY PLAY STRAIGHT MAN TO MAN. ACROSS THE BOARD. BRING SOME PRESSURE OFF THE EDGE. MAYBE A LINEBACKER INSIDE. >> Adam: LOOK AT THE PRESSURE FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
H HOWELL DELIVERS INTO A TIGHT WINDOW AND HE FEELS AS SUCH. MISTAKES. THAT’S WHY THEY’RE SO EFFICIENT. >> Adam: OFF THE FAKE TO McCAFFREY AND
SAMUEL. INCUTTING ROUTE ACROSS EMMANUEL FORBES AT 16 YARDS FOR THE FIRST ALL SEASON LONG. >> Adam: GOING OUT OF THE PISTOL THIS TIME TO McCAFFREY. ANOTHER CARRY AND ANOTHER GOOD RUN. HE BOROUGHS DOWN. HE LEADS THIS FOOTBALL TEAM THIS W WAY. >> Adam: SECOND AND GOAL. DIBO SAMUEL TO THE EDGE. HE’LL WALK HOME FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. GOOD SEAL BY HIS TIGHT END UKS KYLE SHANAHAN OFFENSE. >> Mark: AIYUK GETTING DOWN HERE, CREATING A LITTLE BIT OF INTERFERENCE AND THEN WARNER JACOBY BRESSETTE. HE CONFIRMED IT. CONFIRMED IT POST SNAP AND LETTING THAT THING EAT. THAT’S WHAT
SAM HOWELL NEEDS. THIS WILL HELP. >> Adam: ROBINSON, BACK IN THE BOOK. 12-YARD RUN AFTER MISSING THE LAST TWO GAMES WITH A HAMSTRING YOU HAVE TO LET THAT STUFF GO.R. A PURPOSEFUL CATCH AND RUN STILL GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN INSIDE THE 35. >> Adam: YOU SAW ROBINSON GETTING ON THE SAME PLAY IN THE HUDDLE AFTERWARDS. HERE COMES THE PRESSURE FROM THE NINERS. HOWELL GOT RID OF IT. THREW IT AWAY. LOGAN THOMAS WAS THE CLOSEST RECEIVER TO IT. PROBLEM ALL SEASON FROM UNCOMFORTABLE POCKET TO CREATE AN ERRANT THROW. >> Adam: 47 YARDER FROM JOEY SLYE
IS TRUE AND WASHINGTON IS NO BIG DEAL, JUST GO GUARD DIBO SAMUEL. ON THE FAKE. BROCK PURDY. GOES UNDERNEATH AND McCAFFREY HAS IT. THE BYE INTO THE DIVISIONAL ROUND. SAN FRANCISCO HAD TO PLAY IN THE WILD CARD ROUND LAST YEAR. PURDY OFF THE BACK FOOT. NICE PLAY DEFENSIVELY CUTTING IT OFF. THAT WAS CHRISTIAN HOLMES IN SIX YEARS BEFORE GETTING A COACHING OPPORTUNITY IN ARIZONA. POP PASS. HERE’S McLAUREN. GET HIM THE BALL IN SPACE AND LET HIM GO TO WORK. HE PICKS UP A DOZEN. >> Mark: OH, YEAH, SAN >> Adam: GIBSON IN THE B BACKFIELD.
HOWELL, HE’S GOING TO TAKE A DEEP SHOT. McLAUREN GETS LOOSE. A BIG GAINER FOR SCARY TERRY. A 42-YARD STRIKE ON THIRD AND SHORT. FIRST NFL ACTION WAS A START AT WEEK 18 LAST YEAR. HE HAS CONTINUED TO START EVERY GAME THIS YEAR. ROBINSON AGAIN. SECONDARY OUT OF ALABAMA MOVES THE CHAINS. FIRST AND GOAL FOR WASHINGTON. EITHER YOU GET IT OR NOBODY GETS IT. >> Adam: THIRD AND GOAL. WHEN THEY’VE GOTTEN TO THE RED ZONE THEY’VE BEEN GOOD THIS YEAR. CAN THEY CASH IN HERE? ONE ON ONE. BACK SHOULDER. McLAUREN. TOUCHDOWN, WASHINGTON! IN FRONT OF THOMAS.
>> Mark: GREAT READ BY QUARTERBACK AND McLAUREN. LEVERAGE, FAKE THE FADE AND THROW IT TO THE BACK SHOULDER BEFORE THOMAS CAN GET HIS HEAD AROUND. THAT IS A QUARTERBACK AND WIDE RECEIVER BEING ON THE EXACT SAME >> Mark: I THINK HE’S A COLTS FAN. >> Adam: DIGS THE HAT. OHIO NATIVE. BROCK PURDY. GEORGE KITTLE GOT LOOSE AND FORBES HAS TO PUT A SHOULDER INTO THE BIG TIGHT END AFTER HE PICKS UP 18 YARDS. >> Mark: WE TALKED ABOUT THOSE 1,000 SCRIMMAGE YARDS. THEY HAVE FOUR PLAYERS WITH OVER 1,000 SCRIMMAGE YARDS NOW. PURDY STEPPING UP. DEEP
DOWN THE MIDDLE FOR AIYUK. HE ADDS 21 YARDS TO HIS SEASON AS HE TAKES IT DOWN TO THE 35 OF WASHINGTON. >> Mark: JUST THIS IS A YOUNG QUARTERBACK. STRIKE TO AIYUK. >> Adam: IN MOTION GETS THE HANDOFF. HAS A BIG, GAPING HOLE TO RUN THROUGH. PUT HIS FOOT ON THE GROUND AND CAN TAKE SOME PUNISHMENT AS WELL. >> Adam: HERE’S THE HANDOFF FOR McCAFFREY. HE HAS THE FIRST DOWN AND A STIFF ARM OF CURL GIVES HIM >> Adam: CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY HAS JUMPED THE 2,000 YARD MARK. JUST UNDER 1700 RUSHING YARDS THAT YEAR. FAKE TO
McCAFFREY. GIVE IT TO SAMUEL. IN SPACE WITH THE MOVES AND IT’S SECOND DOWN AS CURL KNOCKS HIM ABLE TO GET A STOP IN THE RED ZONE TODAY. PURDY LOOKING. BACK CORNER OF THE END ZONE AND ANOTHER STAND INSIDE THE 10-YARD LINE FOR THE COMMANDERS DEFENSE. YEAR. IT WILL BE A 22-YARD CHIP SHOT FOR JAKE MOODY. 15 OF 15 INSIDE OF 40 YARDS. AND THE NINERS WITH A 3-POINT ADVANTAGE. AND MANAGEABLE SITUATION. >> Adam: THIRD AND 2 WITH GIBSON THE BACK. HOWELL, HOLE IN THE POCKET TO THE LEFT. UP AND DOWNFIELD GETTING INTO A TOUGH SPOT
AND HE’S GOING TO RUN OUT OF BOUNDS. CLEELAND FURL GOING TO CHASE HIM OUT. END UP BEING A LOSS OF YARDAGE AND IT’S FOURTH DOWN. SEEMINGLY DID NOT FINISH THE PROCESS OF THE CATCH ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CONTACT. IT’S AN INCOMPLETION. IT’S SECOND AND 10. NOW UNDERNEATH TO McCAFFREY. AND A SHIFTY MANEUVER TO GET ABOUT 9 1/2. IN FRONT OF KHALIQ HUDSON. KITTLE STILL ON THE SIDELINE. THE HE DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF LETTING THAT THING GO SO HE COULD NOT GET THAT HOLDING CALL. >> Adam: STICK WITH ELIJAH MITCHELL AND HE MOVES
THE CHAINS UP PAST THE 40-YARD LINE. NICE LITTLE CHANGE OF PACE. MITCHELL BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE GAMES. FIRST DOWN. DOWN TO THE FIELD AND CHRISTINK P SAID THAT A DOZEN TIMES TODAY. >> Adam: THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS. >> Mark: THEY ARE SO GOOD AFTER CONTACTING TO PUSH FORWARD AND MAKE MORE YARDS. THAT’S ONE THING THAT SETS THEM APART. >> Adam: TOP FOUR IN YARDS AFTER CATCH AND CONTACT. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT CAN DO IT. IT’S AIYUK. FIRST DOWN AND 40 AT WASHINGTON. KNOWING WHERE PEOPLE ARE ON
THE FOOTBALL FIELD. >> Adam: WASHINGTON BRINGING PRESSURE OFF THE BACK SIDE AND THEY’LL RUN IT AGAIN AS McCAFFREY STAYS ON THE BENCH. ELIJAH MITCHELL GETTING RAMPED UP. SECOND AND GOAL AND IT’S MITCHELL BACK THERE HIMSELF. THERE HE IS. AND MITCHELL JUST WALKS IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. HIS FIRST OF THE YEAR. >> Mark: MAN, JUST WATCH THIS THING SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE. FRONT SIDE. CENTER. RIGHT GUARD. BUFORD. YOU HAVE BRINDLE ON THE BACK SIDE. FELICIANO. WILLIAMS CUTTING IT OFF. PICK BY SAN FRANCISCO IN 2019. CHASE YOUNG, NUMBER TWO PICK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE TRYING TO
GET TO HOWELL WHO DELIVERS ON TARGET TO CURTIS SAMUEL OUT NEAR MIDFIELD. PROTECTION TO BE ABLE TO HOLD UP THERE AND MAKE THAT THROW ON WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A DOUBLE MOVE THERE BY SAMUEL. GOOD BLOCK BY NICK GATES. THAT OPENS UP AND HE WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE OFFENSE. >> Adam: HERE COMES GIBSON AGAIN. BIG HOLE FOR GIBSON. ANOTHER BIG PLAY. THREE CONSECUTIVE BIG PLAYS FOR WASHINGTON AND SUDDENLY THEY’RE KINLAW HAS HAD A ROCK SOLID YEAR INSIDE AND A THIRD DOWN AND 8. GOT A FIRST DOWN AT THE 3. PRESSURE COMING FROM THE
NINERS. HOWELL DELIVERS AND TO THE OTHER TEAM. IT’S TREF VARIOUS WARD. ANOTHER INTERCEPTION. ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS AND NOW WAIVE IT OUT. WAIVE IT OUT ON THE RETURN. THEY’RE GOING TO SAY DOWN BY CONTACT. ALL THE WAY BACK AT THE 5 YARD LINE. THE STILL THOUGH, A FIFTH INTERCEPTION FOR WARD TO LEAD THE 49ers. AND NICK BOSA MAY HAVE GOTTEN A PIECE OF SAM HOWELL AS HOWELL OBVIOUSLY THAT’S YOUR FIRST TURNOVER OF THE GAME. >> Adam: NOW ELIJAH MITCHELL GOES RIGHT BACK TO WORK. McCAFFREY MIGHT BE NURSING THAT CALF ISSUE AND ELIJAH
MITCHELL TAKES IT DOWN 13 YARDS. DOWN TO CHRISTINE NA PINK FOR I MEAN, THEY DO A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. AND I’M TELLING YOU WHAT, THEY ARE SO SOLID. >> Adam: NOW JUSZCZYK’S LINED UP IN THE SLOT. PURDY LOOKS TO JUSZCZYK OVER THE MIDDLE ACROSS HIS BODY FOR ANOTHER FIRST DOWN. ONE OF THE TRUE CHESS PIECES IN IN THIS OFFENSE. HE’S ONE OF THOSE UNSUNG HEROES FOR SAN FRANCISCO. >> Adam: PRESSURE COMING. PURDY LOOKING FOR AIYUK. WHAT A DIVE BY BROCK PURDY AS BRANDON AIYUK SNATCHES IT INTO THE RED ZONE OF WASHINGTON. >> Adam: THIRD
DOWN. FOUR-MAN RUSH. PURDY, NOTHING DOWN FIELD. SMITH WILLIAMS CHASING. PURDY GETS OUT OF THERE. LOOKING DEEP. BACK OF THE END ZONE. HE’S GOT AIYUK FOR THE TOUCHDOWN! A LITTLE PURDY IMPROV TO KEEP 100 PLUS RECEIVING YARDS FOR BRANDON AIYUK AS PURDY CONTINUES TO FIND HIM. A 17-POINT NINERS LEAD. I MEAN, THIS IS PLAYING QUARTERBACK RIGHT THERE, RIGHT? GETTING IT DONE. >> Adam: HOWELL. HE MAY HAVE HAD THAT THROW AFFECTED AS WELL AS LENOIR JUST STEPPED IN, TOOK IT AWAY, RUNNING IT BACK. RULED DOWN BY CONTACT BACK AT THE 42-YARD LINE BUT IT’S BACK-TO-BACK DRIVES WITH
A SAN FRANCISCO INTERCEPTION. THEY COULD NOT TAKE IT AWAY FROM THE RAVENS. MANAGE THE GAME PROPERLY, BUT YOU STILL MAKE BIG PLAYS WHEN THEY’RE THERE FOR YOU. I JUST THINK HE’S HAD A TREMENDOUS SEASON. >> Adam: DEEBO SAMUEL WITH A GOOD RUN OUT TO THE 22-YARD LINE. A FIRST DOWN. SAMUEL PICKS UP 17 YARDS. OPPOSITE SIDE, SET THAT UP FOR MITCHELL WITH SOME NICE JUMP CUTS. >> Adam: NOW FAKE. PURDY FLOATS IT. IT IS CAUGHT BY JUSZCZYK. HE’S GOT THE FIRST DOWN. PICK UP ON 7 ON THE PLAY TO MOVE KITTLE, GOT TIPPED, WAS AN
INTERCEPTION. NO FEAR. I’LL GO RIGHT BACK AND THROW TO MY TIGHT END. DOESN’T BOTHER ME. >> Adam: MITCHELL IS GOING TO PULL SHORT ON THIRD DOWN AND GOAL. FOURTH AND GOAL WITH 4:30 TO PLAY. SEE WHAT KYLE SHANAHAN WANTS TO GOT YOUR FULLBACK IN THERE. >> Adam: GIVE IT TO MITCHELL TRYING TO POUND AHEAD AND CREDIT TO THIS WASHINGTON DEFENSE. THEY COME UP WITH A STAND AND KEEP IT AT A 17-POINT GAME. DAVID MAYO GETS IN THERE. NINE-YEAR VETERAN OUT OF TEXAS UP AND MAKE THOSE TACKLES. >> Adam: HOWELL ROLLING OUT CHASED BY BOSA. HOWELL
IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET RID OF IT. THE WOW, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN INCREDIBLE PLAY BY LENOIR. HE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS. GRAPHICS. ED SVEDA, OUR INCREDIBLE STATISTICIAN. ADAM, MARK, KRISTINA HERE AT FED EX FIELD. SAM DARNOLD LOST THE BALL THERE. THE WILL GET IT BACK. CLOCK CONTINUES TO MOVE. WE’LL SEE WHAT THE COWBOYS HAVE TO PLAY FOR AFTER GAMES ALL FINISH UP. IMAGINE THEY’LL BE BATTLING FOR SOME SEEDING AS WELL. CATCH MADE BY JOHN BATES. TACKLE WAS MADE BY ISAIAH O OLIVER. WE’LL SEE WHO STARTS NEXT WEEK AT QUARTERBACK FOR WASHINGTON AS
WELL. WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT THE 49ers DID WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TODAY. INCH CLOSER TO THE TOP SEED IN THE NFC WITH AN IMPRESSIVE WE’LL SEE WHAT THE STATUS OF McCAFFREY IS WITH THAT CAL C CALF ISSUE GOING FORWARD. WE’LL WRAP IT UP AFTER THIS.
