Washington's best offensive trait is explosive running (86th pctl), which represents their most realistic path to staying on the field. The Commanders' pass rush ranks at just 19th pctl, limiting their ability to apply defensive pressure, and the tempo contrast is stark -- Washington plays at a 73rd pctl pace against a San Francisco offense that operates at just 9th pctl, one of the wider pace gaps on the week's slate.

• Washington's explosive run game (86th pctl) as their primary offensive weapon and the most credible way to control possession against a 49ers offense that scores at a 91st pctl rate per drive
• The tempo contrast: Washington playing at a 73rd pctl pace against a San Francisco unit that operates deliberately (9th pctl) -- one of the widest pace gaps on the slate
