Get the latest breaking news on the Washington Commanders, including last-minute updates, trades, injuries, and urgent developments.
It’s Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season. The Washington Commanders will face off against the Cleveland Browns on New Year’s Day in Landover.
The game might not have any meaning for the Cleveland Browns, but the Commanders are still very much in the playoff hunt.
Last week, Chase Young got back to doing what he loves – playing football. After a year on the shelf, the stud defensive end finally got to make his 2022 debut against the San Francisco 49ers. The former Defensive Player of the Year played very well. The Plan The official word was that Young would … Read more
The 2022 Taylor Heinicke experiment appears to have come to a close. Head coach Ron Rivera announced this week that Carson Wentz would get the start against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. The NFL is very much a what have you done for me lately kind of league. And lately, Heinicke has faltered. The Commanders … Read more
Jonathan Allen is the undisputed leader of the current Washington Commanders football team. It isn’t even really a contest. That isn’t to say that there aren’t other guys that take on leadership roles, but nobody moreso than the sixth year defensive tackle.
Looking for an opinion from a player after the game? He’s the go-to-guy.
Need a dose of reality at any point in the NFL season? Again, look no further.
He has become the de facto team spokesperson, and it is a role that he has filled quite admirably. He always backs his team mates, and he wears the burgundy and gold colors with pride.
Bittersweet. That’s what any tie in the National Football League seems to be. It doesn’t feel like a win. It doesn’t feel like a loss. Players often have no idea how to feel about the result. Such was the case on Sunday for Washington Commander and New York Giant players and fans alike, after a 20-20 draw.
Both teams could have really used the win, as both are vying for the final Wild Card spot in this year’s playoff race.
The 7-5 Washington Commanders are currently holding down the final Wild Card spot. In fact, if the playoffs were today, all four of the NFC East teams would make the playoffs. That makes this Week 13 match-up with the division rival New York Giants a big one for Washington, to say the least.
The 7-4 Giants sit just ahead of Washington in the division and in the Wild Card race. The Giants have had a ten day lay off after losing 28-20 to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. This will be the Giants second of four consecutive games against NFC East teams – including (a strange) two in a row against the Commanders.
The 6-5 Washington Commanders are on a roll. They beat the Houston Texans quite convincingly and come into the Week 12 match-up with the Atlanta Falcons having won five of their last six. The Falcons eked out a narrow 27-24 victory over the Chicago Bears in their match-up last week. The win moved them to 5-6 on the season.
The game will be played at Fed Ex Field – kickoff at 1:00 p.m. EDT – and can be watched on FOX.
There weren’t a lot of people giving the Commanders much of a chance of beating the 8-0 Eagles leading into the Monday Night Football game. That’s why they play the games. Any Given Sunday. Washington stunned Philadelphia and their fans with a 32-21 victory and handed them their first loss of the season.
Eagles fans and pundits were quick to complain. And cry.
“The refs gave them the game.”
Boo hoo hoo.
The Washington Commanders meet the only unbeaten team in the National Football League in Week 10 – division rival Philadelphia Eagles. The 8-0 Eagles are coming off of a bye week, while the 4-5 Commanders are coming off of a heartbreaking last minute loss to the Minnesota Vikings. As if that weren’t tough enough for Washington, it’s the Monday Night Football game.
The game will be played at Lincoln Financial Field – kickoff at 8:15 p.m. EDT – and can be watched on ESPN.
It’s a sad day for Washington fans, as one of the greatest defensive players in team history has passed away. Defensive tackle Dave Butz died on Friday.
He was 72 years old.
