"It was another evening where the Washington Commanders failed to meet even modest expectations. And they made their stance on one beloved fan favorite crystal clear during the contest. Despite leading with just over three minutes remaining in the third quarter, another collapse of epic proportions saw the Philadelphia Eagles clinch the NFC East title once again at Northwest Stadium. This was the latest in a series of embarrassing moments from an otherwise underwhelming campaign."
"While Reaves isn't finding the correct consistency when his number is called on defense, he remains an elite-level special-teams performer. He came up with a thunderous stop against the Eagles to further highlight this fact. Given that the Commanders tied him to another one-year deal this offseason, he'll remain an integral part of the team's plans in this discipline. As for making one of the starting safety spots his own, the chances are diminishing."
The Washington Commanders collapsed late, allowing the Philadelphia Eagles to clinch the NFC East title at Northwest Stadium. The team has produced a series of embarrassing moments during an underwhelming season. Safety Jeremy Reaves earned increased defensive rotation time after a standout summer, but consistency issues have persisted. Reaves' tackling and overcommitment in coverage have been glaring flaws. Head coach Dan Quinn limited Reaves to 26 percent of defensive snaps in Week 16, far below his 58 percent season average. Reaves continues to excel on special teams, delivering a thunderous stop, and he remains under a one-year deal for that role. Starting safety prospects are fading across the room.
