49ers Look to Strengthen Their Division Position Against Washington

Washington takes on the 49ers tonight before San Francisco heads into its bye week. Bosa is likely to return after the break, while Greenlaw is suspended for tonight’s game. The timing of the bye could help the 49ers recover and regroup.

A win tonight would move San Francisco to 6-0 and strengthen its position in a division filled with questions. The Rams are tied with Arizona after losing to the Cardinals, who won by kicking six field goals. Seattle also faces questions about Sam Darnold and whether he can succeed without a running game.

The 49ers have already beaten the Rams and Cardinals, although they still have to face the Seahawks twice. After beginning last season with injuries throughout the roster, San Francisco now appears to be weathering the storm. Given what the division has shown so far, this would be a significant win for the 49ers.

Washington should still be expected to play well. Night games have often produced plenty of points, although last night’s matchup finally went under.
