What to Expect From the Washington Commanders’ Offense
With the injury to Carson Wentz, the Commanders passing game will now be in the hands of QB Taylor Heinicke, who started 15 games in 2021, throwing for 3,419 yards with 20 TDs and 15 INTs.
Heinicke is not unfamiliar with the bright lights and attention that come with being a starting QB, he also has great familiarity with the system that the Commanders use, so keep an eye out for a good performance.
Rookie RB Brian Robinson Jr. has been quite the story this season, getting shot and making his return to the NFL field and being nominated for the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week. Alongside his fellow running backs Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic, the Commanders backfield is full of talent.
With the injury to Carson Wentz, look for the Commanders to rely on their backs a bit more as they transition to a Taylor Heinicke-led offense.
What to Expect from the Washington Commander’s Defense
The Washington Commanders’ defensive line has some notable talents, such as Montez Sweat, Jonathan Allen, and Daron Payne.
They all have provided great QB pressure and run support throughout the first six weeks. Look for them and a leading tackler, MLB Cole Holcomb, to make the most significant impact on the defensive side of the ball.
The Commander’s secondary is a mixture of highly praised young talent, such as Kamren Curl, and established veterans like Kendall Fuller and William Jackson III. Coming into this matchup as the 11th-ranked defense in the NFL, the Commanders are no slouches regarding the ball’s defensive side.

- Allen Lazard and Romeo Dobbs will step up with the loss of Randall Cobb.
