"Hurts and the Eagles piled on the misery during another defeat for Washington at Northwest Stadium in Week 16. Yet in the process, they also inadvertently did the Commanders a favor, offering a brutal reminder of the significant problem Peters has struggled to fix. It's summed up by this from Next Gen Stats: "Jalen Hurts was pressured on just 4 of 37 dropbacks against Washington, his lowest pressure rate in a game in his career (10.8%).""
"Peters' approach of trying to get by with uninspiring retreads, veteran journeymen, and an aging former great is summed up by this season's disappointing sack totals. Veteran edge Von Miller leads the defense with seven sacks. While he's proved a relative bargain, the future Pro Football Hall of Famer is the supporting act for a true star pass-rusher these days."
Jalen Hurts faced pressure on just 4 of 37 dropbacks (10.8%), marking his lowest career pressure rate in a game and exposing Washington's pass-rush deficiency. The Commanders have struggled to generate consistent pressure, reflected in disappointing sack totals and reliance on aging or marginal contributors. Von Miller leads the team with seven sacks while Dorance Armstrong Jr.'s season-ending knee injury removed a key edge presence. The upcoming free-agency class contains multiple proven edge defenders and rising young pass-rushers, offering a clear opportunity for the Commanders to address the chronic lack of quality pressure.
