Tactically, Washington Commanders will want to lean on veteran leadership to attack Cincinnati Bengals, whose slow starts is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Cincinnati Bengals's star WR duo could punish Washington Commanders if pass-rush juice goes unaddressed. It is the kind of trade-off decided in the margins: third down, the trenches, and the turnover battle.
Keep an eye on Jayden Daniels (QB) and Joe Burrow (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Commanders get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
