Washington Football Team: Five bold predictions vs. Cowboys in Week 12
5. Tim Settle records two sacks of Andy Dalton
Tim Settle has performed very well for the Washington Football Team this season. In recent weeks, he has been on the field more frequently and is making an impact for Washington.
In three of his last four outings, Settle has notched a sack. The big-bodied defensive tackle is simply hard to stop when he gets momentum, especially when he’s playing next to another big fella with good athleticism, Daron Payne.
Settle should continue to be a good weapon for Washington, and as our own Jacob Troutman noted, Settle’s “quietly productive year” has been a big boost for the team.

"Tim Settle has been given an opportunity and he has taken advantage of it. He will be a crucial part of the Washington Football Team finding success this year in its quest for the NFC East crown. Tim Settle, a former fifth-round pick, has developed into a solid defensive lineman. Settle has taken advantage of his limited opportunities this year. Everyone loves to focus on the plethora of first-round picks this defensive line has, and rightfully so. But do not forget about Tim Settle. He is quietly having himself a very productive year for the Washington Football Team."
Settle could continue on his upward trajectory against the Cowboys. Dallas is down a couple of starting linemen and they’re playing guard Zack Martin at tackle to compensate for that. Settle could cause some issue on the interior and get to Dalton as a result.
Settle has four sacks on the year, and we’ll say that he logs not just another one, but a career-high two as Washington is able to get some heat on Dalton.
