History was made in the Cowboys-Commanders game. Per ESPN Research,   it was the first game in NFL history featuring 2 kickoff return TDs, 2 missed extra-point attempts, and a blocked FG attempt.

It’s crazy that this “first time in history” stat line doesn’t even mention the blocked punt.

The run game has been dreadful of late. Execution? Predictability? Lots to consider. Daniels ability to run clearly helps. But in the last 4 weeks the RBs have averaged 3.5 per carry. In the first 8? they averaged 5.2.
— John Keim (@john_keim) November 25, 2024
Daniels averaged 5.3 per in the first 8 games and 5.3 in the last 4. however, he averaged 10.6 per carry Sunday (Dallas’ D had shown QBs could have success with designed runs).

In the first 7 games, Wash completed 43-60 passes vs. 5+ man pressures with 4 TD, 0 INT; 7 sacks.
In the last 5 games vs. those looks, they’re 24-52 with 2 td, 1 INT, 7 sacks.
Sunday, Wash did its usual chipping the DEs, had RBs to pick up blitz. At times, Dallas fooled w/games— John Keim (@john_keim) November 25, 2024
This was a big part of why the Commanders struggled, especially in the 1st half. Any time they got to 3rd down, it was empty formation, chipping the edges and Parsons would just move inside and blow stuff up. https://t.co/y8Lb9Gkfnq

Rewatching Commanders O & a few things stand out.
~ Zero reason it took 55 minutes for Kingsbury to allow 5 to open it up. He’s consistently proven to deliver on time & accurately all year long, masking many of the talent inefficiencies WSH has away from McLaurin. Offense…

A lot of days I tell Commanders fans the sky isnt falling. It still isnt. There’s a lot of football left. But that’s a horrible loss to Dallas. Fans have a right to be pissed.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 25, 2024
The anger that we all feel over the loss to the Cowboys is in large part a function of the #Commanders in Year 1 of their rebuild/recalibration being much better than anyone expected. Terrible loss, but it in a lotta ways is terrible for a good reason.
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) November 25, 2024
Nobody should be embarrassed or ashamed about getting caught up in Washington’s 7-2 start. 3 straight Ls will definitely have you feeling a type of way lol, but they looked good, & their strength at the time was elite. The problem is about what’s going on right now. 5 games left.
— Jamual (@LetMualTellit) November 25, 2024
Or i should say that is me lol. That was fun. Dan Quinn said he’s trying to get his mob to embrace/fight through adversity after the Philly loss, well they didn’t respond well to whatever it is they’re being told lol. Better fight back cause adversity’s whooping y’all lmao.

Commanders’ Week 12 snaps:
* Offense 70 Defense 66. Odd split since Washington lost the TOP battle to Dallas 35-25.
* Interesting DB numbers. Benjamin St-Juste played his fewest % of snaps (58%) since his rookie season while Sainristil and Igbinoghene played nearly every snap… pic.twitter.com/TdXDWeliKj

Saquon has 1,392 rushing yards in 11 games, an average of 126.5 per game.
If he kept that up for a full season, it would be the 12th best rushing season of all-time by YPG.

Bo Nix has caught Jayden Daniels in the ROY market.
Daniels is still favored but there’s no longer a lopsided gap. He’s now -135 in some places with Nix nipping at his heels at about even money after another good performance as the Broncos improved to 7-5.
