SANTA CLARA — If Nick Bosa wins the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award, a fourth-quarter play on Christmas Eve is all the evidence voters need.
“That’s a dream,” Bosa said after Saturday’s 37-20 win. “I’ve played this game since I was 7 and played D-line the entire way through and I’ve watched guys throughout the years and wanted to be in that position. I finally feel I’m living out that dream.”
The 49ers’ eighth straight victory wasn’t looking like a lock until Bosa delivered a fumble-forcing sack with 14 minutes to go. It was Bosa’s second sack of the game, it raised his NFL-leading total to 17 1/2 on the season and it created a fumble that Jordan Willis recovered at the Washington Commanders’ 11-yard line.
