"Some doubts were creeping around the media about the Washington Commanders. A humbling loss to the Green Bay Packers came with criticism, with many suggesting last season's heroics were a flash in the pan. Not for the first time under head coach Dan Quinn, they produced the correct response. Washington's game against the Las Vegas Raiders was a one-sided affair. The Commanders were in complete control throughout, playing sound complementary football and making things extremely difficult for the AFC West club to generate any momentum."
"That leaves the Commanders at 2-1 through three games. Dreams of playoff glory are still prevalent among the fan base, and the resolve displayed in the face of adversity cannot be anything other than positive. Some more formidable challenges are coming for the Commanders. Four of their next five outings are on the road. Two of them are on primetime. There is no real routine for the players, which comes with the territory of being successful."
A humbling loss to the Green Bay Packers prompted criticism and questions about whether last season's success was a flash in the pan. Under head coach Dan Quinn, the team produced a strong response with a dominant, controlled win over the Las Vegas Raiders, playing sound complementary football despite injury problems. The Commanders sit 2-1 after three games, and playoff aspirations remain among the fan base. Four of the next five games are on the road, including two primetime matchups, creating a challenging stretch. Successful navigation of that slate would position the team well for the second half of 2025.
