Opponents finish 79.2% of their red-zone trips against Washington. Only Seattle and Carolina are worse, and the Commanders pair that with the second-worst third-down offence in football.
The Rams have the attack to punish it: 25 touchdowns, 2,071 passing yards and 1,004 on the ground.
Jayden Daniels is the reason this stays close. Six touchdown passes and no interceptions in five starts is the most efficient thing Washington has, McLaurin or not.
