The Washington Football Team will be heading to AT&T Stadium on Sunday night to take on the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC East matchup.
The Cowboys beat the Football Team a couple of weeks ago, 27-17, and a win would allow them to officially clinch the NFC East. The Cowboys are 10-4 while the Football Team is at 6-8 this year.
Washington at Cowboys Stats
Looking at the Washington Football Team stats
The Washington offense has struggled to put points up this season as they are scoring just 20.2 points per game this season and 346.2 total yards per game.
Taylor Heinicke has played pretty well this season, but they need running back Antonio Gibson to play better if they want to be competitive. So far this season, Gibson has 231 rushing attempts for 862 yards with six rushing touchdowns, as well as 39 catches for 260 yards with a pair of touchdown grabs.
He is dealing with a toe injury that forced him to miss Thursday’s practice, though, so keep an eye out on that.
Washington’s defense has been average this season and is nowhere close to where they were in 2020 as they are allowing 25.1 points. The secondary needs some work as they are giving up 271.6 passing yards per game, and that is killing them mostly.
Looking at the Dallas Cowboys stats
The Dallas Cowboys have been averaging 28.6 points per game this season and are playing well. Dak Prescott has been struggling as of late but has provided enough to keep allowing Dallas to be in a position to win games, and that is all you can ask for at this point.
The combination of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard primarily in the backfield is combining for 128.2 rushing yards per game to complement the passing attack as well.
Dallas’ defense has been playing well this season under Dan Quinn as it is allowing just 20.9 points per game this year, including just 14.3 points in their previous three games.
They are beginning to get fully healthy with Micah Parsons, Randy Gregory, Demarcus Lawrence, and Trevon Diggs all playing together and shutting down options for the opposing quarterback to have.
