Three things to watch

1. Washington’s run game vs. a weak Giants run defense

The Commanders are 8th in the NFL in yards per rush. The Giants are 27th in yards per rush allowed. In the Week 5 tie, Washington also won the yards-per-play battle, 6.3 to 4.9.

2. The blitz

Washington blitzes on 44% of dropbacks, the second-highest rate in the league. The Giants have allowed the fifth-most sacks (tied). Expect a lot of pressure on New York’s quarterback.

3. Red zone problems and tight ends

Both teams struggle near the goal line. The Giants are last in opponent red-zone touchdown rate, and Washington is 29th. Washington has also allowed eight touchdowns to tight ends in eight games, and Isaiah Likely leads the Giants in TD catches.
