Washington leads NFC East after gritty 23-15 win over 49ers

Rookies Chase Young and Kamren Curl scored defensive touchdowns and Washington grabbed sole possession of first place in the NFC East after a gritty 23-15 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Washington has won four straight games and is one game ahead of the New York Giants, who lost to the Arizona Cardinals 26-7 earlier Sunday. It’s Washington’s first four-game winning streak since 2016. San Francisco has lost five of six games. Washington won despite losing starting quarterback Alex Smith to a right leg injury at the end of the first half.
