Game Thread: Commanders vs Cowboys II: "Jump on It!"

[Stymietee]

"Jump On It" is a song by Sir Mix-A-Lot that was released in 1996. The lyrics describe the protagonist traveling to different cities across Texas and America, calling out to the locals to "jump on it." The exact meaning behind "jump on it" is not clear, but it seems to be a call to action for people to join him in having fun, while enjoying life to the fullest. This theme seems to be an appropriate end to what has been a remarkable season for the visiting Commanders but also to their hosts who while disappointed this year always seem to believe in possibilities. Let's get some game details!

Game Overview​

The Washington Commanders (11-5) will travel to AT&T Stadium to take on the Dallas Cowboys (7-9) in the final week of the NFL regular season. This game will kick off at 1:00 p.m ET and will be broadcast on FOX.

Team Performance​

Washington Commanders: The Commanders have been on a roll, winning four straight games, including a dramatic overtime victory against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has been a standout, throwing for 275 yards and two touchdowns against Dallas earlier this season. The Commanders are fighting for the No. 6 seed in the NFC, which would give them a playoff matchup against the Los Angeles Rams or Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys have had a challenging season, currently sitting at 7-9 and eliminated from playoff contention. They are coming off a tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, where they were blown out 41-74. With key players like Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb on injured reserve, the Cowboys will rely on backup quarterback Cooper Rush and running back Rico Dowdle.

Key Matchups​

Commanders Offense vs. Cowboys Defense: Jayden Daniels will look to exploit the Cowboys' defense, which has struggled this season. The Commanders' offensive line will need to protect Daniels and create running lanes for their trio of running backs that includes Brian Robinson Jr.

Cowboys Offense vs. Commanders Defense: The Cowboys will likely lean on their running game with Rico Dowdle, as their passing attack has been hampered by injuries. The Commanders' defense, led by safety Jeremy Chinn and linebacker Frankie Luvu, will aim to shut down the Cowboys' offense and force turnovers.

Injuries​

Commanders: The Commanders are monitoring several players on the injury report, including Terry McLaurin (ankle), Cornelius Lucas (groin), and Marshon Lattimore (hamstring).

Cowboys: The Cowboys have several key players on injured reserve, including Dak Prescott (shoulder) and CeeDee Lamb (foot). Donovan Wilson (questionable) and Kemon Hall (questionable) are also dealing with injuries.

Betting Odds​

Spread: Commanders -4

Moneyline: Commanders -192, Cowboys +160

Over/Under: 44 points

Prediction​

The Commanders are favored to win this game, given their recent form and the Cowboys' struggles this season. If Jayden Daniels continues his impressive play, the Commanders should secure the No. 6 seed in the NFC as their playoff spot.

Final Thoughts​

This game will be crucial for the Commanders as they look to finish the season strong and secure their playoff spot. The Cowboys, despite their challenges, will aim to play spoiler and end the season on a positive note. Enjoy the game, everyone!

I love how they say the individuals want team success more than the money. I just don’t believe it.

Yeah we aren't good enough to assume they will roll the Boys, we thought that last game. Glad to hear Eckler is back, very concerned about the other injuries, especially BadAss. Do we have an update on him?

• NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Zay Flowers is likely to miss the Ravens’ Wild Card Round game next week.
  Flowers suffered a knee sprain in Baltimore’s Week 18 win over the Browns and did not return. Per Rapoport, he will undergo an MRI today to determine the severity of the issue. The good news is that the win gave Baltimore the AFC North crown and the No. 3 seed. They are likely to face a toothless Steelers team in the opening round of the playoffs, after which Flowers could make his return. Until then, Lamar Jackson will lean on Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews, both of whom scored in Week 18.
