After catching the ball in traffic Sunday, 49ers wide receiver Braylon Edwards bounced off Washington's 242-pound linebacker, Rocky McIntosh, broke to the left sideline and made a split-second decision to deliver another blow as DeAngelo Hall closed from behind.  With the Redskins' cornerback prepared to make the tackle, Edwards, about 15 yards from the end zone, turned and rammed his left shoulder into Hall's facemask to finish his 24-yard catch-and run with an exclamation point in the Niners' 19-11 win.  The latest triumph featured Frank Gore's fifth straight 100-yard game - a franchise record - and a defense that forced three turnovers and limited the Redskins' 21st-ranked offense to three points in the game's first 58 minutes.  Fittingly, it ended with a late fourth-quarter scuffle on the 49ers' sideline in which San Francisco wide receiver Kyle Williams, all 186 pounds of him, went after London Fletcher, the Redskins' 245-pound linebacker.  The Redskins' injury-depleted offense, led by quarterback John Beck, who entered with six career starts and a sub-70 career passer rating, was predictably overwhelmed by a defense that leads the NFL in points allowed per game (14.8) and, perhaps, helmet-rattling hits.  David Akers booted four field goals and Alex Smith's 30-yard, second-quarter pass to fullback Bruce Miller, which gave the Niners a 13-0 lead, is the only touchdown they've scored in their past 91-plus minutes of play.  Gore played a starring role (19 carries, 107 yards) and Smith was efficient, completing 17 of 24 passes for 200 yards, connecting with eight different receivers and posting a 109.7 rating.  On Sunday, the 49ers controlled field position (the Redskins' average drive started at their 21 and S.F.'s started at its 40), turnover margin (3-1) and time of possession (32:19).
