Key Notes
- Patrick Mahomes threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns despite two early interceptions, taking complete control in the second half.
- Kansas City dominated time of possession by over eight minutes and outscored Washington 21-0 after halftime.
- Marcus Mariota started in place of injured Jayden Daniels and was solid in the first half, but couldn’t sustain it against the Chiefs’ defense.
- Washington’s red zone struggles continued — converting just one of two opportunities against Kansas City’s perfect 4-for-4 effort.
- The Chiefs extended their win streak over the Commanders to nine straight games dating back to 1983.
“It was a tale of two halves. We kind of left some things on the field in the first half that we feel we could have executed. The second half, they executed a lot better than us,” said Terry McLaurin.
The Commanders stats from Week 8 of 2025 are a sobering reminder of the gap between Washington and the NFL’s elite. The first half showed genuine promise — a tied game, turnovers forced, Mariota managing well. The second half was a different story entirely. Until Washington learns to sustain efforts across all four quarters, games against Kansas City will continue to follow this same painful script.
