The harder way is to just keep your head up and figure out how you can make the most of the situation so that's what my energy is toward and that's what I believe. Just the players believing, the coaches believing, the city believing."
"The harder way is to just keep your head up and figure out how you can make the most of the situation so that's what my energy is toward and that's what I believe. Just the players believing, the coaches believing, the city believing. A lot of it is just belief and doing the work. A lot of times work takes care of a lot of stuff."
Washington Commanders entered the season with playoff expectations after reaching the NFC Championship but are performing poorly and face a likely top-five 2026 draft pick rather than a postseason berth. Injuries contributed, but long-running issues and low morale persist. Veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner is delivering experienced leadership, urging players, coaches, and the city to maintain belief, keep heads up, and focus on work to improve results. Wagner's influence on-field has declined, but his leadership aims to galvanize the locker room. Team unity, sustained effort, and belief are presented as necessary for reversing the slump, though outcomes remain uncertain.
