It's a little more than wishful thinking to believe the Washington Commanders can upset the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9. Especially when the defense has the perfect weapon to attack a growing problem for reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford.
The Rams' quarterback arrives at Northwest Stadium having been under siege when lined up under center. Enter Commanders' inside linebacker Frankie Luvu, who is looking like himself again in defensive coordinator Daronte Jones' ever-more aggressive blitz-crazed schemes.
Luvu led a relentless pressure charge in the welcome win over the Philadelphia Eagles last week. He can do the same against increasingly vulnerable Stafford.
