"Unlike the past four, however, there is reason for hope that head coach Dan Quinn's unit can stop the bleeding. The Commanders are traveling to Madrid, Spain, to face the Miami Dolphins, who are also 3-7 after their stunning upset over the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. Even with a roster decimated by injuries, quarterback Marcus Mariota and his troops should be expected to pull out a victory here."
"Washington just completed a stretch of four games that were always going to be tough to win. They played road games against the Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs. They hosted the Seattle Seahawks and the Detroit Lions. All four of those contests were against high-octane offenses. Three of them are likely playoff teams, and the fourth was their bitter rival. Now, the Commanders get the Dolphins at a neutral site."
The Commanders enter a fifth consecutive game needing to move past their previous loss while showing signs of potential defensive improvement under Dan Quinn. The team travels to Madrid to face the 3-7 Dolphins, who recently upset Buffalo, and still copes with significant injuries while depending on quarterback Marcus Mariota. A subsequent bye and a softer run of games versus Denver, Minnesota and New York present multiple winnable opportunities. If the defense improves and Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin return after the bye, Washington could feasibly reach 6-8 or 7-7 and retain slim playoff hope. Continued losses would intensify questions about the franchise's long-term direction.
