"The Washington Commanders' season has spiraled out of control, with five consecutive losses dropping them to 3-7. The last four haven't even been close, all decided by more than 20 points. Everything that could have gone wrong for the Commanders has gone wrong. Between injuries, underperforming players, and a brutal schedule, Washington's season has landed on the exact opposite end of the outcome variance spectrum from last year."
"For all of the problems the Commanders have encountered this season, left tackle Laremy Tunsil is the least of them. He was brought to Washington to help boost the team's contender status. Tunsil has been his usual self and had a particularly standout performance against the Detroit Lions while lining up against star pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson. The 2022 No. 2 overall pick was held in check, with only two pressures and one quarterback hit."
""In a disaster of a season, Washington at least knows it has a high-quality left tackle. It traded three draft picks in March to acquire Tunsil, who has given the team its best tackle since Trent Williams. Tunsil has worked with rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. as well, counseling him through tough games and helping with technique. Tunsil will be 32 next season and his contract expires after 2026, but the Commanders will try to extend him -- otherwise the trade would have been a bad one.""
The Washington Commanders have fallen to 3-7 after five straight losses, including four blowouts decided by more than 20 points. Injuries, underperforming players, and a brutal schedule have driven the collapse. The March trade that cost three draft picks brought left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the roster and has paid off on the field. Tunsil delivered a strong outing against the Detroit Lions, limiting Aidan Hutchinson to two pressures and one quarterback hit. Tunsil has also mentored rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. and the team plans to pursue an extension before his contract expires after 2026.
