Commanders face unbeaten 49ers with NFC East record at stake
The Washington Commanders visit the unbeaten San Francisco 49ers on Monday night at Levi’s Stadium.
San Francisco is 5-0, while Washington is 1-3-1 after tying the New York Giants last week.
The 49ers have won their first five games, and Washington’s defense has struggled for much of the season.
A Washington loss could make NFC East history: the division would have no wins across two straight weeks while all its teams played, a first since the AFL-NFL merger.
The Eagles and Cowboys have each lost their last two games, while the Giants have a tie and a loss in that span.
The division’s two-week record could finish 0-6-2 if Washington loses.
In Week Seven, Washington has a bye, the Giants visit Houston, and the Eagles play the Cowboys.
The Washington Commanders visit the unbeaten San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, with a loss potentially making the NFC East the first division since the AFL-NFL merger to go winless across two consecutive weeks while all its teams are in action.
San Francisco is 5-0, while Washington is 1-3-1.
The Commanders are coming off a 27-27 tie with the Giants after a late-game clock-management mistake.
The 49ers beat Seattle 32-29 in their previous game.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET at Levi’s Stadium.

If Cowboys don't come back tonight and Commanders lose tomorrow, the NFC East would be 1st division since the merger with every team playing in back to back weeks and none of them winning
