At halftime, the Washington Commanders trail the San Francisco 49ers 13–10.
Despite being 14-point underdogs going into the game, the Washington Commanders are only down the San Francisco 49ers 13-10 at the half. The Niners jumped out to a 10-0 lead, but the Wizards responded with their first field goal of the second quarter to mount a comeback.
The Washington Commanders were down 10-3, and needed a touchdown to catch up to the visiting San Francisco 49ers. Brian Robinson and Terry McLaurin played a big part in making that happen. QB Sam Howell threw his best pass in weeks, hitting Terry McLaurin for a 42-yard completion. Brian Robinson got a few carries to get the ball to the three yard line. Two plays later, Howell hit Terry McLaurin with a pass only he was catching, and they scored Washingtons first touchdown of the day.
The 49ers were able to drive down and kick a field goal before the half ended. San Francisco has a 13-10 lead, but Washington gets the ball to start the 3rd quarter.
