It's go time for the Washington Commanders.

Sitting at 4-6 on the season, the Commanders need to start stacking wins if they want any chance at making the playoffs.

It can all start on Sunday with a win over the New York Giants.

"We know what we're capable of, but at the same time it's about to be Week 11," Commanders running back Antonio Gibson said. "Like, it's got to click, it's got to click now."

The Washington defense should be licking their chops for this matchup. The Giants come to town with a third-string quarterback in Tommy Devito. If there is ever such a thing as a "get-right game," this could be it.

"He's an NFL professional quarterback, anybody out there can win a football game," Commanders cornerback Kendall Fuller said. "That's the mentality that we're going with and we're going to need all 11 guys on the field to stop their offense."

Not a lot of concern with the Commanders' offense. It's humming right now. Second-year quarterback Sam Howell is locked in, putting up big numbers in the passing game.

"It doesn't really mean much to me. Obviously, I want to go out there every single weekend, play well and give our team a chance to win. Obviously, we haven't won enough games," Howell said. "We haven't won the games that I feel like we should have won this season. So that's a little bit disappointing, but I really don't look too much into what I'm doing on a personal level. I look more into what we're doing as a team and just how I can improve for this football team and how I can put this football team in better chances to win football games.”

Sunday's game against the Giants at FedEx Field will kick off at 1 p.m.
