The Washington Commanders (1-3-1) face the San Francisco 49ers (5-0) tonight at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The Commanders look to bounce back after a difficult week. Last week, Washington blew a prime chance to win its second game of the season, but clock-management issues led to a tie. The 49ers come off a thrilling 32-29 win over the defending Super Bowl champions, the Seahawks. Interestingly, Washington handed Seattle its first loss in Week 3.
Washington has already ruled out four players for this game, with several more listed as questionable, including wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch, stream, and listen to the matchup.
