The 49ers are off to their first 5-0 start since 2023 headed into Monday night's game against the Washington Commanders (1-3-1). McCaffrey said the Niners know not to get too comfortable after going through a slump the last time they started the season with five straight wins.
While the 49ers are trying not to get too high after beating the Seahawks 32-29, the task for the Commanders is the opposite after their late-game mishandling of the clock turned a probable win last week against the New York Giants into a frustrating 27-27 tie.
Coach Dan Quinn took the ultimate responsibility for the mistakes and now wants to make sure there are no lingering effects from last week's game.
"Although the adversity's been difficult, this team's connected, they are tough and you get a chance to show that resilience, not just talk about it."
