Washington has converted just 31.1% of third downs (33 of 106) this season, last in the NFL. The Giants entered Week 9 leading the league in forced three-and-outs at 32.9% of opposing drives, then forced five more in Philadelphia.
The Commanders now face that defense without Terry McLaurin and Dyami Brown, both on injured reserve. Against the Rams on Sunday, only one of Washington's final six drives gained more than 40 yards.
New York scored one touchdown in its 19-11 win over the Eagles. J.J. McCarthy is expected to play Thursday after hurting his hip in that game, and Monday's walkthrough estimate listed him as limited.
Washington held the Rams to 20 points in a 20-13 loss Sunday. Last week's full-game totals were 30 and 33, both below the line for Under 42 in Commanders-Giants.
