The Washington Commanders were on the mini-bye after Thursday night’s Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, who, at least for the moment, ceded control of the NFC East to the Eagles. The Commanders will have a chance to take out any lingering frustration from that loss on the Dallas Cowboys, who limp into their Week 12 trip to Washington after losing five straight games. Their struggles at home are well documented, but the 3-7 Cowboys are actually 3-2 on the road and were at least competitive in road losses to the 49ers and Falcons, which can’t be said for either of their home games this season.
Also in the early Sunday window, the 9-1 Lions (at Colts) and 9-1 Chiefs (at Panthers) are the favorites to reach 10 wins this week. The last time two teams reached double-digit wins this early was in 2019, when New England and San Francisco were 10-1 after Week 12. The 49ers ended up in the Super Bowl that season, losing to the Chiefs, while the Patriots stumbled a bit in the final stretch of Tom Brady’s last season with the club and lost in the wild card round.
