New York was down 13 in the third quarter and in the red zone with a chance to make it a one possession game, but Jones lost a fumble and it was curtains from then on.

Barkley just couldn’t get going and had only 26 rushing yards the entire game, so expect him to have a bounce back game. Broncos had over 10 minutes more of possession time because their efficiently to convert over 50% of their third down plays and 100% of their fourth down plays.

On Monday, the Football Team signed Kyle Shurmur to their practice squad, but Taylor Heinicke will be the starter in this game. Heinicke can run the ball and should be able to open up the offense for running back Antonio Gibson and wide receiver Terry McLaurin to put up bigger numbers.

In 2020, Washington had a subpar offense that only scored an average of 21.1 points per game, but had the sixth best defense in the league who only gave up an average of 21.2 points per game.
