The Washington Commanders (1-3-1) take on the undefeated San Francisco 49ers (5-0) on Monday night. A loss would mark the second consecutive weekend that all NFC East teams will go winless. Previously, the New York Giants lost to the New Orleans Saints, the Philadelphia Eagles fell to the Carolina Panthers, and the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Green Bay Packers. If the Commanders lose, it would create a unique situation where no NFC East team wins over two consecutive weeks for the first time since the merger. Washington will look to upset San Francisco as they have most of their offensive weapons available, despite facing a formidable opponent ranked among the league's best.
