49ers maintain perfect record; Rams and Seahawks falter in NFC West

The San Francisco 49ers improved to 6-0 with a 23-17 victory over the Washington Commanders on October 19 in Santa Clara, California. Despite a close finish, the 49ers' win solidifies their three-game lead over the Seattle Seahawks, who are now 3-3 after losing to the Denver Broncos, 17-14. The Los Angeles Rams also suffered a setback, falling to the Arizona Cardinals, 18-16, and are now at the bottom of the NFC West with a 2-4 record. The Rams face injuries to key players, including their kicker and wide receiver Davante Adams, complicating their path forward. The 49ers are expected to welcome back linebacker Dre Greenlaw next week, as they aim to maintain momentum amidst mixed news on injuries.
