Are the 49ers the Best Team in the NFL? 49ers Beat Commanders 23-17 to Go 6-0 | We Want Winners

In this episode of We Want Winners, Rod Adams and Garrett Gonzales recap a 23-17 Monday Night Football win over the Washington Commanders that pushed San Francisco to 6-0.

San Francisco jumped out to a 20-3 halftime lead behind a George Kittle touchdown catch and two short Christian McCaffrey rushing scores, then held on as Washington clawed back in the second half. Malik Mustapha's fourth-down pass breakup and a late sack sealed the win. Brock Purdy also took over the NFL's all-time career passer rating lead.

Since the team wasn't able to go live right after the game, Rod and Garrett also cover what's come out since: Mike Evans left in the second quarter with an Achilles injury that's since been described as banged up but not torn, meaning he'll miss time but avoided the worst-case outcome. They close with a look ahead to next week's game against the Falcons.

They also look at the NFL and wonder if the 49ers really are the best team in the NFL.
