No. 1 – Get after Daniel Jones

A matchup that jumps out in the Washington Football Team’s favor on paper is its defensive line vs. New York’s offensive line. Washington has one of the best front fours in the NFL, while the Giants have a bottom-tier offensive line. Advantage Washington.

Washington needs to use this matchup to their benefit. Daniel Jones, even without the constant pressure, can be a turnover machine. That could be amplified if Washington is consistently in the backfield.

If Washington can force Daniel Jones to commit multiple turnovers, that can help a sputtering offense get on track with beneficial field position. Daniel Jones can sit back and make plays with limited or no pressure. He will still make those mistakes, but he will make plays as well.

However, with added pressure, Daniel Jones could become Danny Turnovers. Get after Daniel Jones and create turnovers. Help out a stagnant offense.
