"The Washington Commanders' sensational run to the NFC Championship game in 2024 put them back in the national spotlight. It was a long time coming, as reflected by the number of stand-alone games head coach Dan Quinn's squad was given before the campaign. Things haven't gone well. Whether having no genuine routine has held Washington back is debatable, but Quinn isn't looking for excuses."
"There is a lot for Quinn to ponder during the bye week. When they return, the Commanders will be on Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos. Another prime time game, and any fans who wanted the contest to be flexed are reportedly out of luck. According to Nicki Jhabvala from The Athletic, there are no plans to flex out Washington's clash with Denver in favor of a more enticing fixture."
Washington entered 2024 with renewed national attention after a run to the NFC Championship, but the 2025 campaign has stalled. The team sits at 3-8 and has been undone by poor execution and individual errors, exemplified by the Week 11 loss to Miami. The bye week gives Dan Quinn time for evaluation, yet the upcoming Sunday Night Football game against Denver remains scheduled. The Broncos sit at 9-2, boast an outstanding defense and possible return of Patrick Surtain II, and are positioned to dominate a Commanders team that continues to draw ratings despite poor results.
