Overview
- Monday night’s game at Levi’s Stadium is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. EDT on ESPN/ABC and lists San Francisco as roughly a 7.5-point favorite.
- San Francisco is 5-0 and leads the NFL by scoring touchdowns on 87.5% of red-zone drives, a strength that will challenge Washington’s league-worst 83.3% red-zone touchdown allowance.
- Washington enters 1-3-1 after last week’s overtime sequence against the Giants ended in a 27-27 tie when the Commanders failed to run a field-goal play before the clock expired.
- Coach Dan Quinn took responsibility for the overtime error and said the team must correct situational execution, while Washington must also contain QB Jayden Daniels, who ran for 103 yards last week.
- Christian McCaffrey is expected to play and has said it will be the first time he faces his younger brother Luke, who so far has played primarily on special teams and has not recorded a reception this season.
