The Washington Commanders took another step toward playoff contention by beating the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12 at home, 19-13.
Offensive spotlight: The Commanders' passing attack produced a couple of big plays, but it was the rushing game that accounted for 176 yards — more than 50% of their total offensive output. Rookie Brian Robinson Jr. was the workhorse. He earned the highest grade for Washington's offense on first review.
Defensive spotlight: Rookie Arnold Ebiketie was the only Falcons defender to record multiple pressures, with the team generating just five in total. One of the worst pass rushes in the league just got worse.
Rookie spotlight: Brian Robinson Jr. rushed the ball 18 times, gaining 105 yards, 52 of which came after contact. He had seven rushing first downs and four broken tackles.
Offensive line spotlight: Four of the five Falcons linemen allowed no pressure over the course of the game, with guard Colby Gossett the only one of the starters who struggled to a degree.
