49ers-Washington kicks off at 5:40 p.m. PT, showing up on ESPN in your channel guide. The game is nationally broadcast, so hurray for everyone! Well, everyone with basic cable.

The 49ers enter this game as a 4 1/2 point favorite. Washington entered the season with playoff expectations, but it has been a bit of a disaster for them. Robert Griffin III, coming off a sensation rookie season that ended with a knee injury, came back quicker than many felt was prudent. He was rusty after not playing in the preseason, and it likely contributed to Washington's slow start. Of course, it hasn't helped that their defense has been fairly brutal.

The 49ers have done well this season against opponents that are clearly inferior. That doesn't help when they're facing teams on their level, or better, but given Washington's struggles, this is a big game for the 49ers. They may not be able to get the offense entirely back on track, but this game presents an opportunity to at least settle the waters a bit. The 49ers still "control their own playoff destiny" (as much as one can "control" destiny), so they just need to handle their business. We'll see if they can actually get back on track.
