SANTA CLARA – For the fourth time in six games, the 49ers are on the road. It seemed like a brutal opening act when the schedule was unveiled in April, especially knowing their recent road history.
“I know we didn’t win a single road game last year, preseason or regular season, so those plane rides were not very fun,” tight end George Kittle recalled.
New year, new results.
As the undefeated 49ers (5-0) go to visit Washington (1-5), they are not spooked by an away game. Of course it helped last Sunday to feel at home with some 40,000 of their own fans packing the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for a 20-7 win over the Rams.
