Commanders vs. Cowboys: NFL Week 18 Stats Stack Up

The Washington Commanders travel to Dallas for a crucial Week 18 matchup against the Cowboys with playoff implications on the line. Washington needs a win to secure the sixth seed in the NFC Playoffs, which they currently hold. The 1:00 p.m. showdown also provides the Commanders a chance to avenge their Week 12 home loss to Dallas, a 34-26 defeat. Additionally, Washington aims to end a three-game road losing streak.

The Commanders (11-5) are powered by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has electrified the league this season. Recently named to his first Pro Bowl, Daniels has rewritten the franchise’s record books and is the frontrunner for the NFL Rookie of the Year award. The former LSU Heisman Trophy winner will lead Washington in pursuit of their 12th win of the season. A victory would give the Commanders their best regular-season record since their 1991 Super Bowl-winning campaign when they finished 14-2.

The Cowboys (7-9), by contrast, enter the season finale after a disappointing year marred by injuries to key players, including quarterback Dak Prescott. With several impact players sidelined, Dallas struggled to find consistency. Head coach Mike McCarthy’s future is uncertain, as his contract expires after this game, adding another layer of intrigue to the matchup.

Historically, Washington has struggled in Dallas, with a 17-43-2 record on the road against the Cowboys. Overall, the Commanders trail in the all-time series, 46-78-2.
