A lost season for the Washington Commanders (3-10) enters the home stretch and fittingly, Jayden Daniels (elbow) will be on the sidelines for their game this weekend at the Giants (2-11) who will start their rookie quarterback, Jaxson Dart.
Veteran Marcus Mariota will be under center for the Commanders in place of the injured Daniels. Washington is 1-5 in Mariota’s six starts this season. Dart undoubtedly benefitted from the Giants’ bye week last week. Both QBs for Washington played in their 31-0 loss to the Vikings. That was their eighth loss in a row.
The Giants are no slouches when it comes to losing as they have been on the short end in their last seven games.
Matchup to Watch: Washington and New York Run Defenses vs. Washington and New York Running Backs
Each of these teams has been dreadful against the run. The Giants have given up the second most yards to opposing running backs (2005 yards) and the Commanders have yielded the fourth most (1762 yards). A heavy dose of each team’s running game keeps the clock moving and may limit possessions.
These teams met in Week 1 of the season with Washington dominating and winning, 21-6. No sense in looking at that game to predict the outcome Sunday. Both quarterbacks from that meeting are on the sidelines and the Giants have a new head coach.
