"This was as bad as it could get. The Commanders didn't look like they even belonged on the same field as the Vikings, who had won just four games before the contest. They were unprepared, unmotivated, and lacked the composure needed to stem the tide. Once they got into an early hole, there was no coming back. Quinn looked infuriated and dejected in equal measure after the contest."
"Some extreme soul-searching is needed. The Commanders are now on an eight-game losing run, and this shutout defeat was arguably the worst of all. This team is nowhere close to contending. One could even argue that no one in the league has played worse football since Week 5. That's how poorly things have gone for a team with a crucial offseason of roster construction ahead."

The Commanders have lost eight straight games and sit far from contention, with performance since Week 5 among the worst in the league. The season raises urgent questions about roster construction and leadership moving forward. Cornerback Mike Sainristil struggled in coverage and tackling.
