The Washington Commanders and the Pittsburgh Steelers will clash for a highly-anticipated matchup on Sunday afternoon.
Washington begins the contest with a record of 7-2. That record is the best in the NFC East. Today's win would go a long way for the Commanders, who face the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday in a game that will likely decide first place in the division.
At this stage of the season, most people did not have the Commanders in first place on their bingo cards. The Commanders are a young but talented group. Assuming this team can stay healthy, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs.

Steelers vs. Commanders Prediction
The main reason for the Commanders' success this season is rookie signal caller Jayden Daniels. Daniels has thrown for 1,945 yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions.
Washington will be without starting running back Brian Robinson Jr. The injury will force Austin Ekeler into an expanded role. Ekeler has rushed for 282 yards and two touchdowns.
Veteran Terry McLaurin has been the top target in the passing game with 598 yards and six touchdowns.
Washington ranks 11th in points allowed per game (21.0).
Pittsburgh comes into the contest with a record of 6-2. Mike Tomlin's team has been one of the biggest surprises in football this season. Entering the year, the Steelers were expected to finish in last place in the AFC North.
The Steelers trail will maintain first place in the division with a win today. Head coach Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season as the head coach of the Steelers.
Veteran Russell Wilson leads the Steelers offense with 542 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.
Najee Harris has rushed for a team-high 592 yards and two touchdowns.
George Pickens has been Wilson's top target, racking up 548 yards and one touchdown.
Pittsburgh ranks second in points allowed per game (14.9).
