49ERS DOMINATE COMMANDERS DESPITE RED ZONE FUTILITY

Nobody's talking about how the 49ers won this game in the trenches—R.Scott and J.Hall combined for six sacks while the Commanders' pass rush couldn't generate consistent pressure, and that's the matchup that decided a 19-point game where San Francisco's defense made W.White work for every yard while D.Green had all day to operate. The 49ers leave points on the field with an abysmal red zone showing, but when you're generating 525 total yards and forcing a team into 3-of-12 third down conversions, you don't need perfection—you just need to keep doing what works, and that's exactly what happened here.
