The Falcons and Commanders are two 1-2 teams trending in opposite directions.
Atlanta is coming off a 30-0 loss to the Panthers in Week 3, while Washington took down the Raiders.
The biggest question regarding both teams is who will play under center. Michael Penix has been the starter for three weeks, but floundered this past week for the Falcons. Jayden Daniels, meanwhile, remains day-to-day with a knee sprain.
Both teams are looking for a win to keep them moving forward in the NFC rankings.
