The one Commanders player that could flip Week 5 on its head
"What makes the 36-year-old Miller particularly intriguing this week is the matchup opposite Trey Pipkins III. The right tackle has improved over the past two seasons, but he's still a lineman who can struggle with speed-to-power, bend, and counters from savvy rushers. He hasn't exactly been stout thus far in 2025, allowing 16 pressures in 163 pass protection snaps. That's precisely the kind of profile Miller exploits."
"SoFi Stadium is the site of one of the defining stretches of Miller's career. After being traded to the Los Angeles Rams and helping fuel their 2021 Super Bowl run, he carved out a legacy that still resonates. Being back on that field taps into something that isn't quantifiable but often shows up on Sundays, especially for elite competitors. Even last year, his return trips to familiar settings sparked some of his most frenetic snaps."
Von Miller has produced modest pressure totals through four weeks but has 1.5 sacks, showing that a few decisive plays can change drives. The Week 5 matchup against a reshuffled Chargers line pits Miller opposite right tackle Trey Pipkins III, a player who can struggle with speed-to-power, bend, and counters and has allowed 16 pressures in 163 pass-protection snaps. Miller's blend of nuance, timing, and ability to read sets enables him to convert speed into leverage and disrupt Justin Herbert's pocket. The return to SoFi Stadium evokes Miller's Rams-era success and appears to boost his urgency and finish.
