49ers at Washington pregame: Dante Pettis welcomes rain game

LANDOVER, Md. — Rain awaits the undefeated 49ers as they put their 5-0 record on the line today against host Washington, and wide receiver Dante Pettis literally will take a hands-on approach to it.

He planned to change out his gloves.

“It’s wild. They work, honestly,” Pettis said Friday. “It’s almost like leather, and for some reason when that gets wet, the ball sticks.”

#49ers warming up, including the only guys who’ve thrown passes this season:
Jimmy Garoppolo (95.2 passer rating) incomplete to Joe Staley
Dante Pettis (118.8 passer rating) complete to Richie James #qbcontroversy #sarcasm pic.
