"Martin's three quarterback hits and several pressures played a leading role behind Washington's long-awaited fourth triumph of the campaign. This didn't go unnoticed by JP Finlay from NBC Sports, who singled out the player as one of the few bright spots from a season that promised much but delivered very little. In an obviously lost season Jacob Martin among the best stories for Washington. He's been good throughout- JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 14, 2025"
"Not many fans or experts gave Martin much hope of making an impact with the Commanders. He fought hard to make the 53-man roster during the summer, and injuries to others put more responsibilities on his plate than anyone expected. He could have wilted, but the former Temple standout has thrived, putting up career highs in almost every critical statistical category with three games remaining. And if the same trend continues down the stretch, the Commanders would be wise to offer him another one-year deal."
The Washington Commanders ended an eight-game losing streak by defeating the New York Giants and sweeping division rivals. The victory offered relief in an otherwise faltering season. Edge rusher Jacob Martin consistently pressured opposing quarterbacks despite modest traditional statistics, finishing the MetLife game with one tackle and one pass breakup but recording three quarterback hits and several pressures. Martin fought to make the 53-man roster, absorbed extra responsibility due to teammates' injuries, and posted career highs in nearly every key category with three games remaining. Observers highlighted Martin as a bright spot, and the team is expected to consider a one-year contract extension.
