It could be a turning point game for the Washington Commanders, and they may have star receiver Terry McLaurin back in the lineup. They got Jayden Daniels back last week, so things have trended upward. And here are the bold predictions for the Week 6 Monday Night Football clash versus the Bears.
The Commanders enter with a record of 3-2, while the Bears have won two games in a row to improve to 2-2. It’s a home game on the national stage, and there will be a lot of excitement in the nation’s capital.
The first bold prediction centers on the Commanders’ passing attack.
Look for the Bears to concentrate on stopping Jacory Croskey-Merritt. That should open a couple of deep shots for Daniels. He has been over 200 yards in each of his three games, but his high is 233, coming against the Giants in the opener.
Look for him to be efficient. Not necessarily a huge amount of attempts, but good yardage.
Teammate Tyler Biadasz said Daniels succeeds with coolness under fire, according to Fox News.
“He’s so cool, calm, and collected,” Biadasz said. “You can see him on TV, too. His face is just locked in, he’s in the zone. That’s what he is. He’s very positive, always smiling, always having fun, that’s his flow state. But it was awesome, you had that veteran feel from him in day one.”
It took some time for Biadasz to get comfortable with Daniels, who is a different quarterback than Dak Prescott from Biadasz’s days in Dallas.
“When you go through a camp and you go through the whole year with him, too, I think the biggest feature is how certain plays develop throughout timing, right?” Biadasz said. “And for O-linemen, your job is to block forever, right? And there’s certain timing of certain plays that may be more action-specific or a play-action. That requires more repetition and certain looks and certain fronts and variations that where you want to get more Rolodex looks to have a better feel for things.”
“But just in general, how he plays the game, certain timing, or just how he sees the defense. And maybe third-down looks or even first-and-10, there’s a good amount of things that you do cover in your first year with each other when he came in last year. And this year, I felt like we really hit the ground running in regards of knowing how each other sees it.”
Samuel scored against the Packers, Falcons, and Chargers. He also has six or more receptions in all but one game. For the season, Samuel has 30 catches for 300 yards.
Head coach Dan Quinn said Samuel gets it done with effort, according to the Commanders’ YouTube page via sfgate.com.
“Man, Deebo,” Quinn said. “Every time I see him, he’s just such a relentless competitor. I love what he...
