"This has been a very unfavorable matchup for the Birds, as Washington owns the all time head to head lead 19-10-1. There's been a bookend of Washington dominance in their all time history against Atlanta, as they went 5-0-1 in the first six games and are 4-0 in the last four meetings. Outside of that bookend, each team has won exactly 10 games against one another."
"The Falcons actually had a recent run of success where they never lost against their opponents from the nation's capital. Between 1994 and 2018 they lost just once and won seven times. In the Matt Ryan era, it felt like the Birds really had their number. The scales have been tipped back into the Commanders' favor, however, with those four consecutive victories, one in each of the past four years."
Washington leads the all-time series over Atlanta 19-10-1, with early and recent periods of dominance producing 5-0-1 in the first six and 4-0 in the last four meetings. Atlanta enjoyed a long stretch of success between 1994 and 2018, losing only once and winning seven times, particularly during the Matt Ryan era. In a crucial matchup, the 8-7 Falcons traveled to face the 10-5 Commanders led by Dan Quinn and Jayden Daniels, with Atlanta controlling its NFC South fate with two straight wins. A 17-7 halftime Falcons lead shifted after a costly illegal-contact penalty by DeAngelo Malone that gifted a long third-down conversion and enabled Washington to score, swinging momentum.
