"Despite what's been two months full of doom and gloom in Washington, there was nothing to be ashamed of in this one. The Commanders took it to a team that's tied for the best record in the league and fought like their lives depended on it. With their backs against the wall, they went down swinging. It's the exact type of fight that's needed out of head coach Dan Quinn's unit, even in a lost season."
"Week 13 marked the third time this season in which Washington has lost a game that was decided on the final play. They fell to the Chicago Bears in Week 6 on a walk-off field goal and, two weeks ago, to the Miami Dolphins in overtime. They have no such wins in 2025. It's a stark contrast to last year, when the Commanders won six such games (seven, including the wild-card playoff victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers)."
The Washington Commanders fell to 3-9 after a seventh straight loss on Sunday Night Football, losing in overtime for the second consecutive week. The team played competitively against a top-tier Denver Broncos squad, showing effort and resilience despite a struggling season. Washington has repeatedly lost tight games this year, including three decided on the final play, contrasting with last year’s string of narrow victories that produced six such wins. Injuries and a tougher schedule have compounded the problem. If the Commanders had won the slim-margin losses, their record would be substantially better, reflecting that the roster’s performance remains similar to last season.
