"If it hadn't already arrived, we've officially reached the tipping point of the Washington Commanders' 2025 season. Everything that could have gone wrong had already gone wrong, and it somehow got even worse. Washington trailed the Seattle Seahawks 28-0 in the first half on Sunday Night Football, and ultimately lost 38-14. Then, in the closing minutes of the blowout, quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered what's likely a season-ending injury to his elbow."
"The Daniels injury will be the focus all week, but let's not let the Commanders' defense off the hook for yet another disastrous showing. This is the type of loss that gets people fired, and Washington has one clear candidate for the first head to roll. Commanders could make Tommy Donatell a scapegoat for ongoing defensive frailties The Commanders specified two weeks ago that they won't fire defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. in-season, although after this performance, that may change."
Washington fell behind Seattle 28-0 in the first half and lost 38-14, compounding a season already off track. Quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a likely season-ending elbow injury late in the blowout. The defense produced another poor performance, especially in the secondary, prompting calls for accountability. Marshon Lattimore has been diminished by injury, Mike Sainristil has regressed despite some turnovers, and rookie Trey Amos remains inconsistent despite flashes. Coaching, positional scheming, and execution have contributed to defensive breakdowns, making defensive backs coach Tommy Donatell an obvious scapegoat candidate.
