The Washington Commanders won’t have Jayden Daniels, but they will have Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin back in action. Marcus Mariota will need all of the help he can get with how the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes have been operating as of late.
Since Week 4, Andy Reid and company have scored 37, 28, 30, and 31. And that’s without the threat of a running game. Jacorey Croskey-Merritt could be in for a big night. Washington’s best chance might be to play keep-away rather than outscore the Chiefs. So, Croskey-Merritt could be in for a big evening.
It’s hard to imagine the Commanders getting many stops. They just gave up 44 points to the Dallas Cowboys last week. The Bears, Falcons, Raiders, and Packers each scored at least 24 points against Washington. That’s why it’d be in the Commanders’ best interest to rely on Croskey-Merritt, play the short game with Deebo and McLaurin, or cross your fingers that Mahomes makes a mistake.
