Summary
Kendal Daniels capped Atlanta’s 29-20 Week 7 win by recovering George Kittle’s late fumble and earlier adding an interception, helping the Falcons improve to 3-5.
Less than a minute remained when Jessie Bates III tripped Kittle after a catch, jarring the ball loose for Daniels to dive on and effectively seal the upset.
Daniels also posted a career-high 11 tackles, including nine solo, as Atlanta’s defense forced four San Francisco turnovers against the previously unbeaten 49ers.
The performance came one week after Daniels was stretchered off against Chicago with a neck injury scare; he was later cleared to practice and returned Sunday.
Atlanta now heads into an NFC South matchup with Tampa Bay, while San Francisco absorbs its first defeat of the season.
