Kliff Kingsbury is blowing his big audition with this blatantly poor strategy

"On Washington's opening drive, the Commanders reached the goal line with ease, thanks mainly to powerful runs by Chris Rodriguez Jr. Kingsbury then called three consecutive pass plays instead of even attempting to punch the ball in. The offense turned it over on downs after wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr.'s drop in a critical fourth-down situation. That was as close as the Commanders would come to scoring all afternoon."

"Next time they had the ball, they were trailing 14-0, and as he's done so often this year, Kingsbury abandoned the run altogether. Not exactly the best approach when your quarterback is returning from an injury and needs life to be as easy as possible for him. Daniels had to carry the offense on his back again, and just as it did in his past two appearances, it overwhelmed him."

Kliff Kingsbury's playcalling in the Washington Commanders' loss to the Minnesota Vikings undermined the offense and harmed his head-coaching prospects. Jayden Daniels returned but was dinged up again. Tight end Zach Ertz suffered a season-ending ACL tear. On the opening drive, Washington reached the goal line on strong runs by Chris Rodriguez Jr., but Kingsbury called three pass plays instead of attempting a run and the offense turned it over on downs after Deebo Samuel Sr.'s fourth-down drop. Washington abandoned the run, forcing Daniels to carry the offense and become overwhelmed. Receivers weren't being schemed open and creativity was lacking compared with last season.
