Some Wins Feel More Like Losses
The Washington Commanders fell to the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Monday, a loss the Commanders seemingly prefer over their chaotic 20-20 tie with the Giants in Week 5. The 49ers stay perfect, now one of three unbeaten teams and extend their NFC West lead to three games over the Seattle Seahawks after six weeks.

Commanders vs. 49ers – Studs and Duds
In Monday Night Football, the Washington Commanders were dominated by the San Francisco 49ers, trailing 0‑0 at halftime after looking “Pop Warner‑level” while Kyle Shanahan ran up the score. The Commanders finally sparked in the second half but still lost, leaving them 1‑4‑1 heading into a bye. Standout players include LB Sonny Styles (13 tackles, pass defended) and TE Chig Okonkwo (seven catches, 69 yards). Poor performances came from O‑line duo Brandon Coleman and Josh Conerly, DC Daronte Jones’ defense (303 yards allowed in half), and head coach Dan Quinn’s clock‑management blunder on a fourth‑down field‑goal call. Washington aims to rebound against the Eagles on Nov. 1.
Rams’ division title odds crushed after Monday night
The Los Angeles Rams’ playoff hopes plummet after a 2-4 start and a Monday‑night win by the 49ers, who now sit 6-0 and hold a 96% chance to clinch the NFC West. ESPN odds give the Rams only a 35% chance to make the postseason, with 34% of that tied to a wild‑card berth, and less than 1% chance to win their division. Despite these bleak numbers, the Rams still outrank seven NFC teams, including the Giants (16%). A win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7 is crucial to inch toward .500 and keep wild‑card hopes alive as the expanded format offers three non‑division slots. Their schedule eases after a tough start, but the race for the 5th‑7th seeds will be fierce.
