Take Command Live Featuring You! Dec 16, 2022

Before The Commanders go against the New York Giants for control of their playoff futures, Logan Paulsen and Craig Hoffman hold a Mailbag episode of Take Command Live. The guys bring in fans to the pod to ask their questions:

Logan says that one of the big ways to knock the Giants off their game is to go up and force New York to drop back and try to make bigger plays.
