"At 4-11, the Washington Commanders are simply counting down the days, not until Christmas, but until their 2025 season is mercifully over. That said, they do end their regular season with a pair of marquee divisional matchups, the first of which is at home against the Dallas Cowboys. The Commanders already ended their bitter rival's playoff hopes by losing to the Philadelphia Eagles last week, so neither team has anything but bragging rights at stake."
"The Commanders won't have Marcus Mariota under center. Josh Johnson will start, while the Commanders also brought back Jeff Driskel after signing him from the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad. If Johnson's performance after relieving Mariota last week was any indication, Washington won't be able to trot him out there for very long. He will likely get the start, but Driskel will replace him at some point, and he won't fare much better."
"The Commanders have had no choice but to get their other tight ends involved ever since Zach Ertz tore his ACL against the Minnesota Vikings. Ben Sinnott, who had three catches in Washington's first 12 games this year, has one in each of the past three games. He should have more than that versus Dallas. The Commanders' limited quarterbacks will mostly operate in the short passing game, and Sinnott will be one of the primary targets. Don't be surprised to see career-highs in catches."
At 4-11, the Washington Commanders are approaching the end of a disappointing 2025 season. The final regular-season slate includes marquee divisional matchups, beginning at home against the Dallas Cowboys, with only pride and bragging rights available. Marcus Mariota will be sidelined, Josh Johnson is expected to start, and Jeff Driskel has been re-signed from the Cardinals' practice squad. Quarterback play is described as sub-optimal, with anticipated short stints for backups and continued turnovers in offensive consistency. Zach Ertz's ACL tear forced increased snaps for other tight ends. Ben Sinnott has seen growing targets and projects to post career-high catch totals in the short passing game. A lopsided Cowboys victory is forecast for Christmas Day.
