George Kittle had two touchdown receptions and Nick Bosa set a new career high with two sacks as the 49ers routed the Commanders. Here are three takeaways from the Week 16 win:
Kittle surpassed his previous career high of six touchdowns, which he set last season.There are few areas on the 49ers’ defense that has allowed the opposition any hope of attacking, and the Commanders went after the most-unproven player on the unit Saturday.
The 49ers went deeper into their depth on Sunday when Charvarius Ward exited the game in the third quarter. Rookie cornerback Sam Womack replaced him, and the Commanders immediately went after him on a 51-yard pass to Terry McLaurin.
