"Andy Reid's squad has gotten red-hot after a slow start. The Commanders are heading in the opposite direction, so the potential problems are staring Dan Quinn in the face. Washington will be without star quarterback Jayden Daniels for the contest as he nurses a low-grade hamstring strain suffered against the Dallas Cowboys. The Commanders are hopeful that wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. could return, which would make life much easier for veteran backup Marcus Mariota during his third start of the campaign."
"However, this one will come down to the Commanders' defense. After a brutal showing in Week 7, Joe Whitt Jr.'s unit must turn it around in a hurry if Washington has any hopes of making the playoffs. After all the criticism Whitt and his group have faced in the past two weeks, there would be no better way to silence the noise than to hold one of the league's most potent offenses in check."
The Washington Commanders enter Week 8 in a slump and will face the formidable Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. Jayden Daniels will miss the game with a low-grade hamstring strain, and Marcus Mariota will make his third start as the veteran backup; Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. are hopeful returns. The Commanders' defense, led by Joe Whitt Jr., must improve drastically after a brutal Week 7 showing if Washington hopes to make the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' passing attack have returned to form in 2025, ranking sixth in passing yards per game and fifth in total yards. Rashee Rice also returned and scored twice in Week 7.
