"It was a game where everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. Washington's defense was out of sorts from the get-go, giving up a touchdown on Dallas' opening drive. At halftime, the Commanders trailed, and they never clawed their way back. The offense wasn't much better, even before Jayden Daniels left the game with an injured hamstring in the third quarter. That will happen when you're missing your top three wide receivers."
"All in all, it left Washington without both of its top wideout options as well as Noah Brown, who was finally placed on injured reserve with his groin injury suffered in Week 2. Luke McCaffrey, Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, and practice squad elevation Robbie Chosen headlined the Commanders' crop of wideout targets in Dallas, and the results were about as expected."
Washington fell to 3-4 after a road loss to Dallas, dropping below .500 for the first time in 2025. The defense surrendered a touchdown on the Cowboys' opening drive and remained out of sorts, allowing Dallas to lead at halftime and never relinquish control. The offense struggled throughout, compounded when Jayden Daniels exited with a hamstring injury in the third quarter. The team was missing its top three wide receivers—Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Noah Brown—forcing reliance on Luke McCaffrey, Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, and Robbie Chosen. Drops and a lack of short-game yardage hindered production, and Marcus Mariota also missed some open throws when he relieved Daniels.
