"The Washington Commanders didn't emerge from their Sunday Night Football showdown against the Denver Broncos with a victory. However, they left everything out on the field before eventually falling short. Head coach Dan Quinn was a two-point conversion away from securing a memorable upset victory. He was right to be aggressive with the Commanders at 3-8, with nothing to lose. It didn't pay off, but every player gave their all during a much-improved display with far more positives than negatives."
"Ertz surpassed Shannon Sharpe on the all-time list for receptions by a tight end in Week 13. He's a three-time Pro Bowler but doesn't have an All-Pro selection to his name. Going to the Pro Football Hall of Fame probably needs more, but he's got a good enough résumé to be nominated, at the very least. That's for the future. For now, Ertz will look to finish the campaign strongly before considering the next step. He's playing well enough for another one-year deal in Washington or elsewhere. But at 35 years old, the former Stanford star could decide to walk away from the game and enjoy retirement."
Washington lost to Denver on Sunday Night Football but showed significant improvement and effort. Dan Quinn attempted a two-point conversion late that would have secured an upset, reflecting aggressive playcalling with a 3-8 record. Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota started in place of Jayden Daniels and found a reliable target in veteran tight end Zach Ertz. Ertz caught 10 of 13 targets for 106 yards and nearly scored a touchdown before fatigue contributed to a drop. ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky praised Ertz's dependability and suggested Hall of Fame potential. Ertz recently surpassed Shannon Sharpe in career tight end receptions and may seek another one-year deal or retirement.
