Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
Keys to the Game
  • Terry McLaurin (Commanders) vs Devon Witherspoon (Seahawks) - winner: Devon Witherspoon, holding him to 34 yds on just 39% open, 0.6 INT a game, - erased from the game plan.
  • Jacory Croskey-Merritt (Commanders) vs Josh Jobe (Seahawks) - winner: Josh Jobe, holding him to 2.9 yds a carry - bottled up between the tackles.
  • Jadarian Price (Seahawks) vs Jeremy Reaves (Commanders) - winner: Jadarian Price, 4.7 yds a carry - controls the line of scrimmage.
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Seahawks) vs Rasul Douglas (Commanders) - winner: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, open on 65% of routes for 6.2/8.1, 62 yds a game - money in this spot.
In the Trenches
  • The Seahawks get stonewalled often up front, winning only 50% of reps (6.2 sacks a game), DeMarcus Lawrence (2.6 sacks, 9.0 pressures a game) leading the way.
  • The Seahawks' line should hold up: the Commanders win just 51% of their reps, mustering 2.6 sacks and 14.3 pressures a game, and Odafe Oweh (2.0 sacks, 5.2 pressures a game) headlines it.
Through the Air
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the go-to for the Seahawks, separating on 65% of routes for 62 yds a game.
  • Terry McLaurin is the go-to for the Commanders, separating on 39% of routes for 34 yds a game.
  • On the back end, Devon Witherspoon (Seahawks) blankets his man, surrendering separation on just 33% of routes, good for 0.6 INT a game.
On the Ground
  • The Seahawks hand it to Jadarian Price early and often, 14 carries for 67 yds a game at 4.7 a carry, finding room off the right edge and keeping the sticks moving.
  • Expect a steady diet of Jacory Croskey-Merritt: 39 yds a game at 2.9 a carry for the Commanders.
