Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
Keys to the Game
  • Jacory Croskey-Merritt (Commanders) vs Greg Newsome II (Giants) - winner: Greg Newsome II, holding him to 2.4 yds a carry - stuffed at the line.
  • Cam Skattebo (Giants) vs Nick Cross (Commanders) - winner: Nick Cross, holding him to 3.2 yds a carry - met in the backfield.
In the Trenches
  • The Giants get stonewalled often up front, winning only 50% of reps (6.6 sacks a game), led by Kayvon Thibodeaux (2.1 sacks, 7.9 pressures a game).
  • The Giants' line should hold up: the Commanders win just 50% of their reps, mustering 3.0 sacks and 15.0 pressures a game (Odafe Oweh (2.0 sacks, 5.5 pressures a game) the one to watch).
Through the Air

  • The Commanders' aerial attack runs through Terry McLaurin (45 yds a game, open on 53% of routes).
  • Jevon Holland (Giants) is the stopper here, allowing open looks on only 42% of his coverage snaps with 0.0 INT a game.
On the Ground
  • The Giants' run game leans on Cam Skattebo — 14 carries, 44 yds a game (3.2 a carry) into a stout front.
  • On the ground, the Commanders ride Jacory Croskey-Merritt: 12 carries, 30 yds a game (2.4 a carry) against a stingy front.
