"The scene at Northwest Stadium for the Washington Commanders' divisional rivalry clash with the Dallas Cowboys typified their season. Stands weren't exactly at full capacity, and the same glaring problems that have held head coach Dan Quinn's squad back throughout the campaign reared their head en route to a 12th loss of 2025. For a team that was expected to mount another deep playoff run, this represents a disaster of epic proportions."
"Quinn's job is not under threat right now, but if massive improvements aren't made during the offseason and into the 2026 campaign, seats are going to get warm across the board in Washington. The Cowboys aren't playing for much, either. But they took an early lead and never relinquished it, despite the Commanders fighting until the end. Everything seemed to be against Quinn's under-strength team."
The Washington Commanders' game at Northwest Stadium reflected persistent season-long problems, with stands not full and recurring issues leading to a 12th loss in 2025. Expectations for another deep playoff run collapsed into a season described as a disaster of epic proportions. Dan Quinn remains safe for now, but failure to make massive offseason and 2026 improvements could put his job at risk. The Cowboys took an early lead and never relinquished it while the under-strength Commanders fought until the end. An investigation into failures and potential corrective measures will begin after the final game. Fan disengagement and potential coaching changes create a nervy environment.
