Posted on Sep 26, 2025 | 10:55am

An NFC showdown is on tap Sunday when the Falcons (1-2) host the Commanders (2-1) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The visiting Commanders are coming off a dominating win over the Raiders. Pro Bowl quarterback Jayden Daniels, who sat out the 41-24 rout with an injured knee, has been ruled out again for Sunday. Backup Marcus Mariota will get his second straight start.

The Falcons and their second-year QB, Michael Penix Jr., are looking to get back in the win column – and on the scoreboard – after being shutout, 30-0, by the Panthers.
