"The Washington Commanders' path to a second consecutive double-digit win season - a feat the franchise last accomplished in 1991 - is paved with potential pitfalls. This year's slate features at least five prime-time games, eight matchups with teams coming off playoff appearances and a pair of games against the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles over the regular season's last three weeks."
"Week 1: Sept. 7 vs. New York Giants 1 p.m., Fox The Commanders swept the Giants for the second time in four seasons in 2024 and will be favored to do so again. Quarterback Russell Wilson, who is on his fourth team in five years, is New York's Week 1 starter, but rookie first-round pick and preseason standout Jaxson Dart is lurking."
The Commanders aim for a second consecutive double-digit win season, a feat last achieved by the franchise in 1991. The schedule includes at least five prime-time games, eight matchups with teams coming off playoff appearances, and two late-season games against the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. The team will face a 13-day net rest disadvantage and the eighth-toughest slate by opponent winning percentage. Week 1 features a home game versus the Giants with Russell Wilson starting and rookie Jaxson Dart looming. Week 2 is at Lambeau Field against a Packers unit that finished top-10 on both offense and defense, added Micah Parsons, and expects Jordan Love to be fully healthy.
