Matchup Breakdown
How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulationsIn the Trenches
- Don't expect much heat from the Jaguars — a 49% win rate yields only 6.5 sacks and 24.1 pressures a game, Josh Hines-Allen (4.2 sacks, 7.9 pressures a game) leading the way.
- The Commanders may have to manufacture pressure, winning 51% up front for 4.6 sacks a game — Odafe Oweh (3.2 sacks, 7.0 pressures a game) out front.
Through the Air
- Brian Thomas Jr. is the go-to for the Jaguars, separating on 53% of routes for 58 yds a game.
- Expect the Commanders to feed Terry McLaurin: 4.9 catches for 40 yds a game, open 54% of the time.
- Foyesade Oluokun (Jaguars) is a problem in coverage, holding his man open on just 35% of routes, good for 0.1 INT a game.
On the Ground
- Bhayshul Tuten is the workhorse for the Jaguars, churning 42 yds a game at 3.8 a carry, with the holes opening off the right edge.
- The Commanders lean on Jacory Croskey-Merritt, 14 carries for 50 yds a game at 3.6 a carry, churning off right tackle.
