Prediction
The Commanders are on a 3 game losing streak and have been eliminated from the playoff contention. They are benching Wentz and giving Heinicke and rookie Sam Howell playing time at QB. The Cowboys already clinched the playoffs but they need to win this game if they want to be division champs. Tony Pollard has a chance to return for this game so expect a full healthy team and ready to roll. Washington has a good defense but the Cowboys offense will be too much again.
