"At 4-10 and with their final three games coming against division rivals, the Commanders have only one thing left to play for: bragging rights. If they can somehow beat the Philadelphia Eagles twice and the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day, this season will leave a much less bitter taste in fans' mouths. McLaurin is well aware, and he's fired up to lead his troops into battle. Technically, the Commanders have the chance to determine who wins the NFC East. It will almost certainly be the Eagles, who only need to win once more or have the Cowboys lose."
"We have a unique opportunity at the end of this season, we aren't in the playoffs but we have four division games... you want to finish strong, you want to finish this season with a sense of pride. We've got to have that mentality that we're going to leave here with something."
"All three games will be an uphill battle for the Commanders, but they've got nothing to lose. Quarterback Jayden Daniels has been shut down for the season, but for the past month, Dan Quinn's squad has seemed to play with more fight when it's been Marcus Mariota under center. They'll be especially amped up against their two most hated rivals."
Washington enters the final three games at 4-10 with division pride and bragging rights as the only tangible goals. A pair of wins over the Eagles and a Christmas victory over the Cowboys would improve the season's tone and could affect NFC East playoff implications. Terry McLaurin is a veteran leader determined to rally the team and finish with pride. The Commanders face uphill matchups, with Jayden Daniels sidelined and Marcus Mariota generating more competitive play recently. Dan Quinn's team is motivated to deny division rivals postseason opportunities and finish the season fighting.
