49ers set to become first undefeated team after facing Commanders

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 22:32 · Archive

The undefeated San Francisco 49ers play the Washington Commanders on Monday night.

The undefeated San Francisco 49ers will face the Washington Commanders on Monday night seeking to become the first 6-0 team of the season. The 49ers improved to 5-0 after beating the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks on the road. The Commanders are 1-3-1.

Quarterback Brock Purdy is playing at an MVP level for San Francisco. Running back Christian McCaffrey is performing with fresh legs, and receiver Mike Evans has become an excellent addition to the 49ers' depleted receiving corps. The 49ers are 7½-point favoured to win at home.

The Commanders' season has been inconsistent. Jayden Daniels had a strong running performance against the Giants but made a critical error by forgetting to spike the ball to stop the clock. Coach Dan Quinn is managing expectations after what has been described as one of the worst coaching blunders, a reference to when Quinn's previous team, the Atlanta Falcons, blew a 28-3 lead in Super Bowl 51.
