The Washington Commanders (4-11) host the San Francisco 49ers (11-4) in a game between teams heading in far different directions.
The 49ers are battling for home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, while the Commanders are looking to climb in the 2024 NFL draft order. No, Washington’s current coaches and players aren’t looking to move up in the draft, but new owner Josh Harris understands the importance of securing the highest possible selection in what’s expected to be a quarterback-rich draft.
San Francisco looks to avenge its ugly Monday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens. That shouldn’t be too difficult against Washington’s 32nd-ranked defense, which will be missing three of its four starters in the secondary.
