Positive 4

Antonio Gibson didn’t have his best game of the season in the 2020 finale, but he did put up some respectable numbers and kept the chains moving at very opportune times with key drives throughout the game.

With his limited duty last week and another week of light practices, the hope is that Gibson is continuing to heal. Having an impactful game against Tampa Bay could go a long way to helping this team advance beyond Saturday’s game.

Negative 4

Jeremy Sprinkle is no longer a reliable receiving option in this offense. He is a fine blocker and good blocking tight ends are needed for any successful team. However, he offers little to no value in the passing offense.

Sprinkle’s contract with the Washington Football Team ends after the final game of this season and it is time to move on.
