New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders: 3 key matchups to watch in Week 10

The New York Giants will look to extend their winning streak when they welcome the Washington Commanders to MetLife Stadium for a Thursday night NFC East showdown. The Giants are coming off a 19-11 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, while Washington is looking to bounce back from a 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams . These teams played to a 27-27 tie in their first meeting, making Thursday's rematch an important opportunity for New York to create some separation in the division. Here are three key matchups to watch. Giants WR Malik Nabers vs. Commanders CB Amik Robertson Malik Nabers has been one of the Giants' most productive offensive players this season, entering Week 10 with 53 receptions for 648 yards and two touchdowns. He'll have another opportunity to make an impact against Amik Robertson, who has allowed 26 receptions on 57 targets this season, according to PFF. Robertson surrendered six catches for 66 yards on nine targets in the first meeting between these teams. If Nabers can win that matchup again, it could give New York a much-needed spark in the passing game. Giants defense vs. Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Containing Jayden Daniels will be one of the Giants' biggest defensive priorities. The Washington quarterback has thrown for 1,250 yards and seven touchdowns while adding 252 rushing yards and two scores on the ground. Daniels ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns on just nine carries in the first meeting. New York did sack him five times in that game, but the defense cannot allow him to escape the pocket and create explosive plays with his legs. Keeping Daniels contained and forcing him to win as a passer will be critical. Giants run game vs. Commanders run defense Getting the ground game going will be important for New York, particularly with Cam Skattebo expected back after missing the Philadelphia game with a hamstring injury. The Giants are averaging 112.1 rushing yards per game this season, while Washington is allowing 102.3 yards per game, ranking 12th in the NFL. Skattebo leads New York with 418 rushing yards on 98 carries. If the Giants can establish the run early, they can control the tempo, keep Daniels off the field and make life easier for their passing attack.
