"The Commanders are in a legitimate slump. They are 3-7 when most fans thought they would be challenging for the NFC East crown by this point. Injuries, poor performances, and free-falling morale have all played their part, but something didn't seem right from the outset. Quinn has taken matters into his own hands, assuming defensive play-calling duties from Joe Whitt Jr. Just how much that will help when push comes to shove remains to be seen, but the head coach had to do something."
"Daron Payne is suspended for one game in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins after pushing Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. He got baited into it, but the defensive tackle should have known better. Now, the Washington Commanders will be without their best interior defender by a considerable margin. This is the NFL. Disappointment for one player means an opportunity for another. And the primary beneficiary could be Johnny Newton."
The Washington Commanders traveled to Spain to face the Miami Dolphins in a high-stakes matchup amid a disappointing 3-7 start. Injuries, poor performances, and plunging morale have compounded the team's struggles. Head coach Dan Quinn has assumed defensive play-calling duties from Joe Whitt Jr. in an effort to halt the slide. Daron Payne's one-game suspension removes the best interior defender, creating an opportunity for Johnny Newton to start alongside Javon Kinlaw. The Dolphins remain dangerous after upsetting the Buffalo Bills, raising the stakes for a must-hit performance by the Commanders.
