At a -3-point disadvantage, the Commanders are underdogs in this week's contest, implying more of a reliance on passing than their usual approach.The predictive model expects the Commanders to be the 2nd-least run-heavy team on the slate this week with a 37.2% run rate, given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.When it comes to blocking for ball-carriers (and the significance it has on all ground game metrics), the O-line of the Washington Commanders ranks as the 9th-worst in the NFL last year.This year, the poor New York Jets run defense has allowed a colossal 4.02 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to opposing offenses: the 26th-worst rate in the NFL.When it comes to the defensive tackles' role in stopping the run, New York's unit has been great this year, profiling as the 9th-best in the league.
