"Just when it looked like the Washington Commanders would be sailing to 4-2 with a primetime win over the Chicago Bears, head coach Dan Quinn's squad snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Jayden Daniels' botched hand-off to running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt under challenging conditions from the pistol formation eventually became their undoing. The Commanders are now firmly at a crossroads, and it's going to be a significant test of their resolve in the coming weeks to get this season back on track."
"It was all doom and gloom after Washington's loss on Monday Night Football, but they are still in the fight. Quinn's men are only one game behind the Philadelphia Eagles for the division lead, and the reigning Super Bowl champions aren't exactly firing on all cylinders either. Even so, the margin for error is quickly fading. With this in mind, we took a look at how the Commanders could fare over their next five games after a 3-3 opening to the campaign."
Washington lost a primetime game after Jayden Daniels' botched hand-off to Jacory Croskey-Merritt from the pistol formation. The mistake turned a likely 4-2 outcome into a defeat and left the team at a crossroads. Injuries have contributed to a drop in performance and reduced cohesion compared with 2024. The Commanders remain only one game behind the Philadelphia Eagles in the division despite recent struggles. The reigning Super Bowl champions are also underperforming, which narrows the margin for error. A short week precedes a must-win road matchup at the Dallas Cowboys, who also face personnel issues and defensive problems.
