The 49ers (11-4) won their eighth straight game, with Nick Bosa and George Kittle especially excelling in the 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders.
SANTA CLARA — If Nick Bosa wins the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award, a fourth-quarter play on Christmas Eve is all the evidence voters need, and maybe it could sway some to consider him the league’s most valuable player.
The 49ers converted that takeaway into just a field goal, but Bosa’s play sent an emphatic message that this playoff run remains fueled by the NFL’s most suffocating defense. Kittle, coming off a two-touchdown effort in last game’s division-clinching win at Seattle, finished with 120 yards on six catches, the final of which was a 10-yard, fourth-down conversion to set up Christian McCaffrey’s 1-yard touchdown run with 2:13 left.
This goal-line stand kept the score 0-0 and ended a 17-play, 10-minute march by the Commanders, 9:32 before halftime. Dre Greenlaw, Fred Warner and Akeem Spence came through with run stops on third- and fourth-and-goal from the 1. Warner had a season-high 13 tackles.
