4. The Reality Is, Antonio Gibson is due for a home run.

In his two games against Dallas last season, Antonio Gibson rushed 40 times for 243 yards and four touchdowns, capped off by his classic wave on Thanksgiving Day.

Gibson has been an absolute workhorse during Washington’s winning streak, but his long rush during that time has been only 22 yards, and he’s been kept out of the end zone the last three weeks. Gibson is due to pop a long one for a score, and I think it’s likely he rises to the hype of Dallas Week to do just that. Expect another 20+ carries and at least one long score this week.
