One bar per game this season, in week order. Bars above the line are wins and below are defeats, sized by margin. “v” is a home game and “@” an away game. Hover or tap a bar for the score. Bye weeks are left blank, so a gap in a run of form is visible rather than hidden.

Commanders vs Giants injury report and team news
These two drew 27-27 in Week 5, the only tie either has been involved in.
New York concede 79.0% of red-zone trips, the worst rate in the NFL.
Washington convert 31.1% on third down, also the worst figure in the league.
The worst red-zone defense in football against the worst third down in football
New York have won five, and the defense is the reason: 178 passing yards a game conceded is third in the league and the pass rush has held opponents to 87.0.
The exception is glaring. Once a drive reaches the 20, New York have conceded on 79.0% of trips, the worst rate in the NFL, and Washington’s problem is getting that far at all on 31.1% third down.
That is the game. If Washington can move the chains they will score; the evidence of eight weeks says they cannot.
