Summary
Atlanta ended San Francisco’s unbeaten start at 6-1 by turning four takeaways into 13 points in a 29-20 home win.
Michael Penix Jr. threw three touchdown passes and no interceptions, while Brock Purdy finished 27-of-40 for 288 yards with two picks as Atlanta improved to 3-4.
Christian McCaffrey left in the first half with a thigh injury and returned in a limited role, leaving the 49ers thinner on offense with multiple receivers already inactive.
San Francisco still cut the deficit to 26-20, but Eddy Pineiro missed the extra point, a reviewed touchdown was overturned, and late takeaways by Kendal Daniels sealed Atlanta’s first win after a two-game skid.
