The Atlanta Falcons beat the San Francisco 49ers 29-20, handing San Francisco its first loss of the season and ending Atlanta’s two-game skid. Rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels turned the game late with an interception of Brock Purdy and a recovery of George Kittle’s fumble, as the Falcons capitalized on four 49ers turnovers. Michael Penix Jr. threw three touchdown passes, while Purdy finished with two interceptions. San Francisco’s comeback hopes were further hurt by overturned touchdown plays and a missed extra point; Atlanta sealed the win with a late field goal.
