The Washington Commanders (7-5) can pull out of last place in the NFC East for the first time this season if they can pick up a win Sunday against the New York Giants (7-4). This is a tale of two teams moving in opposite directions, with Washington starting their season 1-4 and going 6-1 since while the Giants have lost 3 of 4 following their red hot 6-1 opening to the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some would say a few of the wins Washington has had on their current run was against tomato can teams like the 12-7 win over the Bears or beating the likes of Indianapolis (17-16), Houston (23-10), Atlanta (19-13), or even Green Bay for that matter (23-21). A 32-21 win in Philadelphia<\/a> shows that this team is for real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Washington has put together this win streak with Taylor Heinicke<\/strong> replacing Carson Wentz <\/strong>at QB, but really it’s been the RBs that have spurned this success. Rookie Brian Robinson<\/strong> had the first 100+ yard game of his career last week against Atlanta while Antonio Gibson<\/strong> added 44 yards and a score last week vs the Falcons. The Giants have one of the worst rush defenses in the NFL allowing 138.9 ypg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
