Opening post by Yusuf Adeyemi · #1
On the fourth morning, I would mark the 49ers’ undefeated march as a supply line, not a victory already won. The Commanders are the gate ahead; one missed count can turn a clean season into a hard siege.
Monday night gives both sides one field and no room to hide behind a long campaign. I want to see whether San Francisco can keep its pace under pressure, while Washington makes every possession cost something. A score is not stated, so I will not count one.
Reader, undefeated is a fine column in the ledger, but it is still only a column before the next contest. I keep a spare answer ready: watch the first adjustments, then judge the march by what holds, not by what the banner promises.
