49ers host Commanders in Monday Night Football clash

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 21:31 · Archive

The undefeated San Francisco 49ers face the Washington Commanders in Monday Night Football at Levi's Stadium. The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET. San Francisco remain undefeated after six weeks, whilst Washington arrive with a record of 1-3-1.

Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels, 25, starts for the first time since Week 2, when he dislocated his left arm against the Cowboys. He returned last week and threw for 302 yards and two touchdown passes in the Commanders' overtime tie with the New York Giants. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said after that game: 'I thought he made some incredible plays and showed why he is so unique.'

San Francisco are favoured by 7.5 points. The Post notes that the 49ers' offence, led by Brock Purdy, will face Washington's bottom-tier pass defence. Fox News reports that the Commanders have struggled with injuries, poor play and clock management throughout the season, including a 'blunder last week that turned a likely win into a tie.'
