Commanders face running game challenges ahead of Colts matchup

The Washington Commanders, gearing up for their Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts, have struggled with their running game this season. Newly appointed offensive coordinator David Blough's system has shown potential, but injuries to key players like Jayden Daniels and Laremy Tunsil have hampered performance. The Commanders are currently ranked No. 8 in rushing offense, averaging 132 yards per game, but this is skewed by Daniels' contributions. Their running backs, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry, face challenges with a struggling offensive line allowing high penetration from opposing defenses. This week, the Commanders aim to improve their ground game against a Colts defense ranked No. 29 against the run.
