A chance at 6-0 is starting the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> right in the face. All they need to do is take care of business at home on Monday Night Football against the Washington Commanders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s not a game that will challenge them much, given how lowly Washington is. They should be able to get the win and improve to 6-0<\/a>, remaining undefeated.<\/p>\n

However, as the 49ers enter Monday night’s matchup, they’re already Week 6 winners before playing the Commanders. How is that possible, you may ask? I’ll tell you.<\/p>\n

49ers are already Week 6 winners<\/p>\n

The 49ers’ two biggest and only threats in the NFC West, the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams, both lost this week.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks were defeated by the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, while the Rams were upset at home by the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Seattle’s record is 3-3, while Los Angeles’ is 2-4. The two powerhouses of the division are in a hole, with the 49ers above and beyond them.<\/p>\n

This alone has made them winners of Week 6. They hold a sizable lead in the division over the Seahawks and the Rams, especially with wins over both.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks might be able to rebound, as their loss was more justifiable. They went to Denver on a short week after being in an absolute war four days before that against the 49ers.<\/p>\n

As for the Rams, they’re in a complete freefall. They look like a team that heard all of the offseason hype about them and bought into it. What a bunch of fools.<\/p>\n

The 49ers have a win in Week 6 already, and they haven’t even played a game yet. That said, they can capitalize on this massive opportunity.<\/p>\n

San Francisco can continue to separate themselves from the Seahawks and the Rams by defeating the Commanders on Monday night.<\/p>\n

They mustn’t let this chance squander. Now is the time for them to distance themselves further in case they go through a rough patch later in the season.<\/p>\n

That way, this lead that they’re creating now will be looked at as a major benefit. It will allow them to have room for error and absorb some losses if it comes down to it.<\/p>\n

The NFC West is there for the taking for the 49ers. There’s still a long way to go, but right now, the 49ers have everything going for them.<\/p>\n
