The story for the 49ers entering the season was injuries, right down to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The story since the start of the season has been success.
While injuries certainly have been a factor for the 'Niners, from Nick Bosa to De'Zhaun Stribling and Deebo Samuel, Shanahan's group has found a way to thrive in spite of them. After the 49ers won in Seattle in Week 5, the NFC West could just be a race for second behind San Francisco.
On the other side of the country, the Commanders have managed just one win in five games. That doesn't mean they have four losses, though. Washington settled for a tie in Week 5, after a disastrous final sequence that largely remains unexplained. Coach Dan Quinn said after the game that it felt like a loss, and it's hard to argue with that.
Going on the road and handing the 49ers their first loss would unquestionably be a win, though. The upset-minded Commanders are hoping to channel last weekend's frustration and leave the west coast feeling like they can compete in a wide-open NFC East race.
With that, here's what you need to know to watch "Monday Night Football" in Week 6.
