The cliché that games are won along the line of scrimmage certainly will apply to Sunday’s NFC East clash, which might as well be a six-face advertisement for the big boys developed in the SEC and Big Ten. What makes Washington’s front four such a challenge? Sweat, Payne and Allen all have at least 6.5 sacks and combine for 20 — matching the Giants’ team-wide total. Payne and Allen are among the leaders in snaps played percentage among NFL interior defensive linemen and the main reason that the Commanders’ last six opponents are rushing for just 85.1 yards per game. The last seven opponents — during a season-changing 6-1 stretch — are averaging just 177.7 pass yards and 15 points per game.
