How the Commanders’ defense went from No. 3 in yards allowed in the 2022 to the fourth-worst entering Week 11 remains one of the questions Washington is actively working to answer with seven games to play in 2023. Identifying reasons for the freefall isn’t easy.

Giants, Commanders meet in battle of sack-prone rivals

Sam Howell and Daniel Jones have a pretty painful trait in common: They’re the two most-sacked quarterbacks in the NFL this season. Howell will try to take the Washington Commanders above .500, while Jones just hopes to get back on the field for the New York Giants when the NFC East rivals meet on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J.

Having returned from a disappointing trip abroad, the Buffalo Bills will hope to take their frustrations out on the visiting New York Giants when the two banged-up teams meet on “Sunday Night Football” in Orchard Park, N.Y. The Bills (3-2) are hurting in more ways than one after losing 25-20 to the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday in London.
