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
