"So much of the separation between a good NFL team and a bad one is all between the margins - the little things, the key moments that can completely swing the outcome of a contest. Football is a game of maximizing possessions, and in that regard, one of the most crucial skills for an offense is keeping drives alive in critical situations."
"The Washington Commanders are 3-4 after seven weeks of the season. As expected, their loss to the Dallas Cowboys has sent fans into a full-blown panic. There has been no shortage of hot takes from the peanut gallery, some warranted and others much less so. Nearly everybody has been a scapegoat, from the injured wide receiver room to defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. to even quarterback Jayden Daniels, who is set to miss time for the second different occasion this year."
The Washington Commanders sit 3-4 after seven games, and a loss to the Cowboys has amplified fan concern and criticism of multiple personnel. Multiple units and individuals have faced scrutiny amid injuries and inconsistent play. The offense has notably declined in critical situations compared to 2024, with third-down conversion rates falling from 45 percent (6th in the NFL in 2024) to 35 percent (24th through seven games in 2025). The 2024 team also excelled on fourth downs, converting 20-of-23, a difference that helps explain the team’s regression in close moments this season.
