Commanders news and updates
The Commanders opened the season with some promise, pulling out a come-from-behind win at home over the Cardinals in the opener and hanging on for a close road win over the Broncos in Week 2. In Week 3, however, the team fell flat in a convincing 34-point loss to the Bills. Sam Howell threw three picks on the day as the team couldn’t get going on offense while also having no answers to the Buffalo offense. Last week, the Commanders nearly pulled off an upset over the Eagles after tying the game on a Howell touchdown pass with no time remaining, but they opted to kick the extra point to send the game to overtime, where an Eagles field goal dropped Washington to 2-2 on the season.
