The Washington Commanders (8-5) will face the New Orleans Saints (5-8) on Sunday, December 15, 2024, at the Caesars Superdome. The Commanders are coming off a bye week following a decisive 42-19 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Quarterback Jayden Daniels has been instrumental in the team’s success, leading to an 81.7% chance of making the playoffs. However, the team faces challenges with wide receiver Noah Brown likely sidelined for the remainder of the season due to internal injuries. In response, Washington claimed wide receiver K.J. Osborn off waivers to bolster their receiving corps.
The Saints, meanwhile, are dealing with uncertainty at the quarterback position. Derek Carr sustained a left hand injury and is in concussion protocol, making his availability for Sunday questionable. If Carr is unable to play, the team will turn to either Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler as the starting quarterback. Despite winning three of their last four games, the Saints’ playoff hopes are slim, and they will need a strong performance to overcome the Commanders’ defense.
