This is outstanding news for Washington’s offense. Gibson and rookie Brian Robinson Jr. have shared the ball during the Commanders’ recent winning streak, with both being extremely effective. Gibson offers more in the passing game and on the edges, while Robinson is more of an inside runner. As a team, the pair is one of the best in the league.
The New York defense should give the Commanders plenty of opportunities to run the football. The Giants rank No. 26 in run defense.
Gibson leads Washington with 476 rushing yards on the season.
