3rd Quarter
Injury updates:
Injury roundup:
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) December 13, 2020
Terry McLaurin - left ankle injury. Is still playing but hasn't been targeted, even when open.
Alex Smith - right foot is bothering him. That's the surgically repaired one, that he can't lift normally. Left for the locker room with 1 minute to go in the half.
Chase Young update:
Chase Young becomes the first player in Washington franchise history to record a fumble return touchdown, a forced fumble and a sack in a single game.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) December 13, 2020
That stat via the team
Also, it's only halftime.
Chase Young's first half stats:
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 13, 2020
- 4 tackles (1 for loss)
- 1 QB hit
- 1 sack
- 1 pass defensed
- 1 forced fumble

The No. 2 overall pick is wrecking this game for @WashingtonNFL
Alex Smith questionable:
Alex Smith is questionable to return with a leg injury.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) December 13, 2020
Alex Smith appears to be testing his leg along the sideline while holding his helmet to his ear to listen to the calls.

Dwayne Haskins Jr.:
This is exactly what Haskins has to do in this system, process reads and get the ball out quickly. Not necessarily down the field. Find the open guy and let him make the yards pic.twitter.com/gH3f3MvtID
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 13, 2020
Then he hits Logan Thomas for 12 more. https://t.co/9nRGX2uHfl
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 13, 2020
Excellent play design. Keeping Barber in so everybody thinks run, then getting the pass to McKissic in space.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) December 13, 2020
Haskins is in 49ers territory.

J.D. McKissic day:
J.D. McKissic has been very effective running the ball today. 9 rushes for 67 yards.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 13, 2020
J.D. McKissic is fueling this drive. He just scampered up to the 49ers 7-yard line after a 17-yard run.
— Zach Selby (@ZachDSelby) December 13, 2020
Another FG:
Haskins directs a field goal drive. Dustin Hopkins boots the kick for a 16-7 lead.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) December 13, 2020
Montez Sweat:

— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) December 13, 2020
Montez Sweat opens the second half with a TFL and a sack on a 3-and-out series that he completely took over. Washington's defense is just absolutely demolishing SF right now. #WashingtonFootball
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) December 13, 2020
Ronald Darby:
When the pass rush is working like it is right now, Washington's CBs benefit massively. They know ball has to come out quickly. Can play off with vision and drive on anything underneath. Darby does exactly that here to break up a slant. pic.twitter.com/hfcleFEao9
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 13, 2020
Steven Sims Jr. keeps dropping passes:
Excellent route by Steven Sims from the slot on 3rd and 7. Had DB turned around and plenty of separation. Ball a little low from Haskins, but catchable. Sims can't bring it in. Gotta have it pic.twitter.com/9SV9FIFvvU
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 13, 2020
Steven Sims has quietly had a pretty poor year. His injury hasn't helped. But he seemed poised for a breakout in training camp.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) December 13, 2020
Deshazor Everett injury:
Jeremy Reaves in at FS with Deshazor Everett out. Dr. Robin West is looking at Everett's right shoulder/clavicle area.
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) December 13, 2020
Kamren Curl Pick 6!:
Such a bad decision by Mullins. Kam Curl was right on up of the receiver in the flat, but under pressure, Mullins attempted the throw anyway. Curl jumps it, gets the INT, and takes it all the way back for a pick-6 pic.twitter.com/CGSoJtG1EZ
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 13, 2020
Yes he KAM@budlight | #BudLightCelly pic.twitter.com/inznDABwqs
— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) December 13, 2020
Kam Curl just intercepted Nick Mullens and took it to the house. Second defensive touchdown of the game.
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) December 13, 2020
And the 75-yard INT for a TD is the second defensive touchdown scored by a rookie for the WFT today. Chase Young had the fumble recovery for the TD earlier
Injury updates:
Kevin Pierre-Louis is questionable with an ankle injury.
— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) December 13, 2020
Deshazor Everett is questionable with a chest injury.
49ers score:
49ers convert the two-point conversion, and it's a one-score game with 10:18 to go. Still a lot of game left. https://t.co/jqjQHN0MJx
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 14, 2020
3 and out:
Quick three-and-out gives the 49ers the ball back with 9:03 left to play. They're trailing 23-15.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 14, 2020
Chase Young game:
Chase Young just impacts so many plays, even when his rush doesn't go well. Peels off and bats down this pass at the LOS to get his defense off the field on 3rd down. pic.twitter.com/X11TaZrqXu
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 14, 2020
Just great pursuit from Chase Young. Forces the 49ers into a 3rd-and-long
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 14, 2020
Chase Young, who couldn't get to Mullens on that 3rd and 6, drops back and bats the ball down for the big 4th down. He is living in the 49ers head rent free
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) December 14, 2020
Jonathan Allen injury:
Jonathan Allen has a groin injury. Return is questionable.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) December 14, 2020
Near disaster:
Refs reverse the call, but @WashingtonNFL is still forced to punt. 49ers have the ball, down 23-15, with about five minutes to play. https://t.co/QCpncTwEte
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 14, 2020
Big play from Jon Bostic:
That was a great break on the ball by Jon Bostic. Excellent read to bring up 4th and 1
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) December 14, 2020
First Shaun Dion Hamilton trips up the running back, and then Jon Bostic times his hit perfectly to force an incompletion. On 4th-and-1, the 49ers decide to punt, and they down it at the 1-yard line.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 14, 2020
Rivera challenges a 3rd down spot:
Ron Rivera challenging the spot on that third-down play. It's currently 4th and 1
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) December 14, 2020
Ruling stands that J.D. McKissic was short. Washington loses a timeout, and will punt
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) December 14, 2020
Tress Way tackle!:
Tress Way on the tackle!
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) December 14, 2020
Big holding call:
Montez Sweat with a nice rush to draw a holding call from the 49ers RT. Wipes out a big gain and sets up 3rd and long pic.twitter.com/mJmVwfbrVw
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 14, 2020
That play is coming all the way back. Big holding call on the 49ers offensive line. Montez Sweat was held badly as he tried to reach Nick Mullens. 22 yard play wiped out
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) December 14, 2020
After the holding penalty, Montez Sweat picked up the ref's flag and started to twirl it over his head before handing to the official. Might be one of the funniest things I've seen in a game.
— Les Carpenter (@Lescarpenter) December 14, 2020
Stuffed!:
Sweat then comes back on 4th and long and drives the RT back into the QB, forcing a hurried throw which is caught, but tackled short of the first down marker. pic.twitter.com/fJgb5RhRyu
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 14, 2020
Jon Bostic said nope. Stuffed the wideout right before the sticks. @WashingtonNFL takes over.
