Commanders QB Jayden Daniels -- the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year and last year's No. 2 overall pick -- has been ruled out for Sunday after leaving last week's game early with an elbow injury. Instead, veteran QB Marcus Mariota will make his fourth start in the last five games.

The Washington Commanders and New York Giants meet Sunday in Week 15 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.

Jaxson Dart starts for the New York Giants against the Washington Commanders tonight. His calm and controlled play is key for the Giants' offense. Dar

Here's why: Washington's defense is a mess, having allowed at least 25 points in seven of the last eight games and over 30 points in four of those games. Add in that Jayden Daniels will be out again due to injury, and the Giants should be able outscore the Commanders.

The Washington Commanders visit the New York Giants in Week 15 in a meeting of historic proportions -- and not good ones. Washington enters on an eight-game losing streak, while New York has lost seven straight.

Two players are questionable for the Giants game. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr was limited the last two days with a new groin injury. Washington signed Chase Edmonds from the practice squad earlier this week, giving them another option if Rodriguez is limited, or can’t play on gameday.

Deebo Samuel is expected to play in Week 15 despite illness as the Commanders face the Giants, offering a boost to Washington’s offense.

Each of these teams has been dreadful against the run. The Giants have given up the second most yards to opposing running backs (2005 yards) and the Commanders have yielded the fourth most (1762 yards). A heavy dose of each team’s running game keeps the clock moving and may limit possessions.
