The Washington Commanders will face the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 4 clash at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with both teams seeking steadiness after uneven starts to the season. Washington enters at 2-1 after a statement rebound win, while Atlanta sits at 1-2 following a rollercoaster start. The matchup has already been framed as tight by league outlets, but the long injury lists on both sidelines could tilt momentum either way.

The Commanders carry momentum into this matchup after a 41-24 Week 3 win over the Raiders that highlight Marcus Mariota’s efficiency and a 90-yard punt return touchdown by Jaylin Lane. That victory helped erase the sting of a Week 2 loss to Green Bay and focused strides in protection and explosive plays. Washington now looks to carry that surge into Atlanta, but depth is being tested at key positions.

The Falcons return home seeking consistency after alternating between dominance and collapse through three weeks. Their defense bottled up Minnesota in Week 2, but a 30-0 defeat in Week 3 exposed offensive issues. Bijan Robinson remains a reliable weapon, and optimism lingers if the offensive line finds its boost, though injuries loom large ahead of kickoff.

Atlanta faces its own challenges, most notably losing shutdown corner A.J. Terrell (hamstring), a critical absence against Washington’s receivers. Running back Nate Carter and receiver KhaDarel Hodge are also ruled out, reducing backfield and depth options. The silver lining for the Falcons is Kyle Pitts (toe) practicing fully late in the week, easing concerns about his availability as they look to stabilize the passing game.
