"The Washington Commanders lost on the road to the Dallas Cowboys, dropping to 3-4 on the year. With or without quarterback Jayden Daniels, it's officially going to be an uphill battle to make the playoffs in a wildly competitive NFC race. It's not the type of performance that was envisioned after last year's 12-win campaign and NFC Championship game appearance. At this point, the alarm bells are officially ringing at full volume, and rightfully so."
"Through seven weeks of the season, no one is undefeated. Only two teams have a singular loss. One of those, the Green Bay Packers, has additionally seen a game end in a tie. Several of the league's heavyweights have experienced periods of disappointment. The Kansas City Chiefs, who Washington plays next, are 4-3. The Buffalo Bills have lost back-to-back games. The same goes for the Philadelphia Eagles before their win over the Minnesota Vikings. The Baltimore Ravens, a perennial Super Bowl threat, are a dismal 1-5."
The Washington Commanders lost at Dallas and dropped to 3-4, making a playoff run difficult with or without quarterback Jayden Daniels. The current form starkly contrasts last season's 12-win campaign and NFC Championship run, prompting alarm. League-wide parity has produced widespread early-season struggles: no undefeated teams through seven weeks, a Packers tie, the Chiefs at 4-3, the Bills with consecutive losses, the Eagles stumbling before a recent win, and the Ravens at 1-5. Instant-gratification reactions exaggerate the situation, while the overall parity means team fortunes can shift rapidly.
