Cowboys vs. Commanders: A quick overview of the facts and figures for Week 18’s match
Washington is on the verge of a complete overhaul, and it appears likely that head coach
Ron Rivera and his staff will be replaced to make way for a new regime under the incoming owner.
Several veteran players dealing with lingering injuries have been ruled out, contributing to a sense that the Commanders’ front office may prefer losing the upcoming game to maintain their
current draft position, currently at number two.
On the contrary, the Cowboys have substantial stakes in the game.
They are vying for the NFC East title and the number two seed in the NFC,
which guarantees home playoff games. In contrast, the Commanders are eager to conclude their season.
Examining some statistics surrounding the game, Dallas secured victory i
n their last encounter with Washington on Thanksgiving, prevailing with a 45-10 scoreline. The Cowboys have dominated recent matchups, winning four out of the last five games against the Commanders.
However, a crucial reminder looms from a past loss when, in the regular-season
finale last year, a superior Dallas team suffered a 26-6 defeat at FedEx Field.
This serves as a cautionary tale that the Cowboys should keep in mind as they approach the upcoming game.
