"To say this season is a disappointment would be an understatement. The Commanders went 12-5 in 2024 and made the NFC Championship game. They found their franchise quarterback in Jayden Daniels and had fresh faces leading their coaching staff and front office. It was supposed to be the dawn of a new era in Washington. Instead, it now feels like it was all just a dream."
"From @NextGenStats: Only two NFL teams have followed a season with a conference championship game appearance, with a season with eight consecutive losses: the 1990 Browns and the 2025 Commanders.- Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) December 11, 2025 The Browns snapped their skid at eight games with a 13-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15 of that season. If the Commanders lose to the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium this weekend, they'll set a new low."
The Washington Commanders collapsed from a 12-5, NFC Championship season in 2024 into a 2025 campaign defined by an eight-game losing streak, tying an unwanted NFL record. Injuries decimated the roster, many remaining players showed diminished speed and effectiveness, and presumed core building blocks regressed unexpectedly. A markedly tougher schedule compounded problems, while Kliff Kingsbury's offensive schemes failed to adapt to league adjustments. Poor situational luck and a string of small failures amplified losses. The slide mirrors historic collapses and raises questions about coaching, personnel, and the viability of the current roster construction.
