The Washington Commanders [6-5] have another big game on the slate this weekend as the Atlanta Falcons [5-6] come to town in a game with potential NFC playoff implications.
Washington has won five of its last six games and is a half-game behind the Seattle Seahawks for the final NFC playoff spot. Atlanta is one game behind Washington, but more importantly, the Falcons are only a half-game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for first place in the NFC South.
The Commanders need to be careful of overlooking the Falcons with back-to-back games against the New York Giants on the horizon. Based on how Washington played against Houston last week, you shouldn’t expect the Commanders to look past the Falcons.
