WSHRB • #8

Brian Robinson rushed 15 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns in the Commanders’ Divisional Round win over the Lions.

The Lions’ top priority in this game was to stop Jayden Daniels. They didn’t come close to doing that and it still left them vulnerable to Washington’s ground game, led by Robinson. He ran for more than five yards per carry for the first time since Week 13 despite handling the short-yardage work as well. While it may have suppressed his YPC, the goal line role netted him a pair of touchdowns. He did, however, cede a short touchdown to Jeremy McNichols. The Commanders aren’t likely to drop 45 points again next week, but Robinson’s job as the grinder will make him a touchdown-or-bust DFS play for the Conference Championship Round.
