Who says NFL players aren't tough? And it's rare to find a tougher group than the offensive line. The offensive linemen are going full force on every play -- run or pass -- and can often have defenders or teammates going down and rolling up behind them.

It's rare to find an offensive lineman that's not playing hurt, especially once you've reached the midway point of an NFL season.

During Sunday's 27-22 win over the New York Giants, Washington Commanders left guard Nick Allegretti faced one of these situations. Only, it wasn't him. At some point during Sunday's game, rookie left tackle Brandon Coleman asked Allegretti to pop his finger back in place. It wasn't a job Allegretti wanted, but he obliged.

"I had to pop the finger back in,' Allegretti said of Coleman. "Not a....I almost went down, I am queasy. I did not enjoy that. He's like, 'just pull it," so I looked away, and we got her back in."

Speaking of toughness, Coleman missed last week's game due to a concussion and played the entire game on Sunday, lining up against one of the NFL's best pass rushers, Brian Burns, and winning that matchup.

The Giants entered Sunday's game with 35 sacks, which was the most in the NFL. Washington's offensive line held New York to zero sacks on Sunday.
