"Not much went right for the Washington Commanders in their loss to the Detroit Lions. They are now 3-7, having been defeated by at least 20 points for the fourth consecutive game. The defense was a horror show once again, and head coach Dan Quinn has now taken over defensive play-calling responsibilities from coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. as a result. On the bright side, Kliff Kingsbury's offense did show signs of improvement in comparison to the last two weeks."
"The Commanders spent most of the game trailing by several scores, but they still moved the ball well. Veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota spread the football around to a receiving corps that's still missing second-team All-Pro weapon Terry McLaurin. In the fourth quarter, a player who's been all but written off scored his first touchdown of 2025. Commanders have to see they have in Ben Sinnott over the rest of 2025"
"One of the biggest blunders from the group to this point is tight end Ben Sinnott. As the No. 53 overall pick, he caught only five passes as a rookie while being buried behind Zach Ertz and John Bates on the depth chart. His role hasn't changed in Year 2, and the Kansas State product had only two catches entering Washington's contest against the Lions."
Washington lost to Detroit and fell to 3-7 after a fourth straight defeat by at least 20 points. The defense struggled, prompting head coach Dan Quinn to assume defensive play-calling from Joe Whitt Jr., while Kliff Kingsbury's offense showed modest improvement. Marcus Mariota moved the offense and spread targets despite the absence of Terry McLaurin. Ben Sinnott, a second-year tight end and 53rd overall pick, scored his first touchdown of 2025 after limited involvement as a rookie and early in Year 2. The team’s focus has shifted from playoff contention to evaluating young, long-term contributors over the remaining season.
