Atlanta Turns Four 49ers Turnovers Into a 29-20 Stunner

The Atlanta Falcons stunned the previously unbeaten San Francisco 49ers 29-20, snapping San Francisco’s six-game winning streak and their own two-game skid. The 49ers led 14-12 at halftime, but Atlanta outscored them 17-6 after the break, including a scoreless third quarter for San Francisco. Michael Penix Jr. threw three touchdown passes, completing 25 of 34 attempts for 213 passing yards, as Atlanta finished with three touchdowns and three field goals. Drake London caught seven passes for 66 yards and a touchdown, while Kyle Pitts Sr. added five receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown. Brock Purdy completed 27 of 40 passes for 288 yards and a touchdown, but San Francisco’s two touchdowns and two field goals could not overcome four turnovers: two lost fumbles and two interceptions. The Falcons committed no turnovers, despite producing 295 total yards to the 49ers’ 400 and 21 first downs to San Francisco’s 26. Atlanta also limited the 49ers to six second-half points, turning the game’s biggest advantage—the turnover margin—into a statement win.
