He held his own, and Quinn was quick to acknowledge it. Dan Quinn said in the Denver game Mike Sainristil and Josh Conerly "elevated up....that's what I wanted to see." Quinn said he felt that was "our best group game but still with a loss. [So] it's hard to say it was the best game."- John Keim (@john_keim) December 3, 2025
He's been phenomenal, more than I could have ever expected, I'd say. Just the type of person, the type of character, the way he works, the way he leads the young guys... And the play speaks for itself. It'd be hard to find one who has played better at that position this season. He's gonna get a lot of money.
Adam Peters went all in to mount another deep playoff push during his second recruitment period at the helm. It was commendable to recognize the exceptional strides made in 2024 and to adjust to higher expectations. Unfortunately, it hasn't gone according to plan, so there needs to be a sense of consolidation next spring. Difficult choices are coming. The Commanders have the most pending free agents anywhere in the NFL.
The Washington Commanders first noticed the cameras along the walls of the meeting rooms when they returned from their bye week. They saw the trailer that popped up next to the practice field. Then the NFL Films camera crews roaming the sidelines. For the first time ever, "Hard Knocks" had come to Washington. A new season of HBO's behind-the-scenes series will premiere Tuesday at 9 p.m. and run through the remainder of the season,
The Washington Commanders didn't emerge from their Sunday Night Football showdown against the Denver Broncos with a victory. However, they left everything out on the field before eventually falling short. Head coach Dan Quinn was a two-point conversion away from securing a memorable upset victory. He was right to be aggressive with the Commanders at 3-8, with nothing to lose. It didn't pay off, but every player gave their all during a much-improved display with far more positives than negatives.
Injuries have been a significant part of the Washington Commanders' season. They had plenty of good fortune on the health front in 2024 en route to the NFC Championship game. Unfortunately for head coach Dan Quinn, the pendulum has shifted dismally this time around. Every team deals with injuries. No team has dealt with as many as the Commanders this season. A plethora of players, from fringe assets to franchise cornerstones, have gone down. Some are slowly returning,
Atlanta Falcons Washington Commanders With leading receiver Drake London set to miss his second straight game with a knee injury, Drummond joins the 53-man roster off the taxi squad. He was unable to be a standard gameday practice squad elevation, since he'd already been elevated three times this year. Chosen is headed to the waiver wire after three games with Washington.
Adam Peters is in a tricky situation. His gamble to propel the Washington Commanders into win-now mode during the offseason hasn't reaped the required rewards. Injuries haven't helped, but the general manager has a significant amount of hard work ahead of him as his third recruitment period begins.
Adam Peters made a significant impact on the Washington Commanders during his first year as general manager. He made some bold choices, and the results were immediate. This sleeping giant went from a perennial struggler to the NFC Championship game, propelling them back onto the national stage in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, things have not gone as well this time around.
Nobody expected a significant drop-off from Quan Martin this season. Most fans and experts anticipated a genuine breakout campaign from the safety, and the Washington Commanders made him the alpha dog on the backend after letting Jeremy Chinn walk in free agency. Sadly, these increased responsibilities and added pressure have had a detrimental impact on Martin's development. He looks like a shell of the player who progressed so encouragingly last season.
Washington's defense has been in freefall for the last month. Head coach Dan Quinn is likely considering making changes. He has already done it. No one has lost their job, and I don't expect anyone to during the season. But Quinn's decision to take over play-calling duties from defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. may only be the tip of the iceberg.
