The 6-5 Washington Commanders are on a roll. They beat the Houston Texans quite convincingly and come into the Week 12 match-up with the Atlanta Falcons having won five of their last six. The Falcons eked out a narrow 27-24 victory over the Chicago Bears in their match-up last week. The win moved them to 5-6 on the season.
The game will be played at Fed Ex Field – kickoff at 1:00 p.m. EDT – and can be watched on FOX.
The Falcons will be without tight end Kyle Pitts, who was placed on injured reserve this week after suffering a knee injury against the Bears in Week 11. He is not expected to return until at least Week 17.
Will Chase Young make his return? He was close last week, but not quite game ready. His 2022 debut could come at any time.
Washington’s 5-1 record in their last 6 games is the best record in the NFL.
