The San Francisco 49ers will look to protect their undefeated record as they host the Washington Commanders in this week's "Monday Night Football" matchup.
The 49ers have yet to lose through five games and quarterback Brock Purdy has looked like an early MVP candidate under coach Kyle Shanahan.
Whether it's Mike Evans as a veteran option at wideout, old faithful tight end George Kittle or the versatility of their defense, the Niners have enjoyed contributions from everyone so far. The return of linebackers Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw has helped the defense rank third in scoring and sixth in total yards through the season's first five weeks.
The Commanders (1-3-1) have starting quarterback Jayden Daniels back from injury and are coming off a 27-27 tie with the New York Giants. Their offense ranks 16th in the NFL in scoring, while their defense has been one of the league's worst: 23rd in yards allowed at 350.4 per game and dead last in scoring defense.
Many experts are expecting an easy win for the 49ers. Here's where you can tune in to watch the game:
