Why Kyle Shanahan, 49ers not taking Week 6 game vs. Commanders lightly

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan insisted his team will not underestimate the Washington Commanders ahead of their Week 6 Monday Night Football matchup. Despite Washington holding a 1-3-1 record following an overtime blunder against the New York Giants, Shanahan warned that the Commanders are a dangerous, hungry team. Shanahan emphasized the importance of avoiding an emotional letdown after San Francisco's recent victory over the defending Super Bowl champions.

Shanahan highlighted the threat posed by Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels, praising his arm strength, accuracy, and dual-threat mobility despite a quiet start to the season. The 49ers defense enters the contest allowing an average of 199.6 passing yards per game, ranking eighth in the league.
