Get the latest breaking news on the Washington Commanders, including last-minute updates, trades, injuries, and urgent developments.
The big buzz in the world of sports on Wednesday, was that Daniel Snyder may finally have reached his tipping point. Forbes magazine reported that the controversial owner had hired Bank of America to explore the selling of the Washington Commanders.
Marred by controversy after controversy, Snyder is likely the most litigious owner in the history of sports ownership. He might also be the most hated.
It was a battle of formerly backup quarterbacks. Sam Ehlinger stepped in for an injured Matt Ryan, and Taylor Heinicke made his second straight start for the Washington Commanders. Neither one of them looked like they’d be breaking any passing records any time soon, but in the end, Heinicke earned another pair of Nikes and came away with a 17-16 victory.
The Commanders quarterback ultimately put up decent numbers, going 23 of 31 for 279 yards with an interception and two touchdowns – one in the air, one on the ground. But in a tight match-up, it was Heinicke’s last two plays that made all the difference.
It’s Week 8 of the 2022 NFL season. The Washington Commanders will face the Indianapolis Colts in a game that might have been a bit more personal were it not for an injury to Carson Wentz two weeks ago. Colts owner Jim Irsay spent most of the off-season bad-mouthing Wentz and looking like the jackass that he usually does.
Washington have rebounded from a tough start to the season, and are coming off two straight victories. Last week they beat the Green Bay Packers in a game that saw Taylor Heinicke return to the starting quarterback position.
The Week 8 game at Lucas Oil Stadium would have certainly been circled on Carson Wentz’ personal calendar. Not only did he come over to Washington from Indianapolis in the off-season, but did so, to a chorus of unprofessional psychobabble from Colts owner Jim Irsay. Unfortunately for Wentz, he’s sidelined with a broken finger and … Read more
Taylor Heinicke might not have the most NFL-est arm in the league, but Taylor Heinicke certainly has one of the most NFL-est attitudes in the game. With Carson Wentz out for a minimum of four games, Washington’s backup quarterback took to the field on Sunday to try and win a football game. And did.
In true Washington form, fans were split down the middle as to wether or not they should throw any praise in Heinicke’s direction. The bottom line is that the Washington Commanders beat a Green Bay Packers team that almost nobody expected them to beat. Especially with a backup quarterback at the helm.
The Washington Commanders were spanked at At&T Field on Sunday. They had their second division match-up in as many weeks and came away 25-10 losers to the Dallas Cowboys.
This week, they face the Tennessee Titans who are coming off of a gritty 24-17 divisional win over the Indianapolis Colts. It was the Titans second consecutive win after dropping their first two games. Their 2-2 division record has them sitting tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars atop the AFC South.
The Commanders (1-3) on the other hand, are already two back of the 3-1 New York Giants and 3-1 Dallas Cowboys, and three back of the undefeated 4-0 Philadelphia Eagles.
So how is the match-up shaping up?
The Commanders took on division rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, and came up short. Really short. The scoreline of 25-10 for Dallas was if anything, flattering to Washington. The defense put up a decent fight at times, but the offense was once again, anaemic. They have managed just 18 points in the last two contests. … Read more
It’s Week 4 of the 2022 NFL season. The Commanders will face their arch rivals – The Dallas Cowboys.
Washington is coming off an uninspired divisional loss at the hands of the red hot Philadelphia Eagles.
Another divisional loss would really put the Commanders on the outside looking in. It may only be four games into the season, but trailing in the tie breaker to two of the three teams in your division is definitely a hole that’s tougher to dig out of.
So who’s available and who’s not?
Here is a list of both teams’ inactives:
The Washington Commanders were demoralized on Sunday. They had their first division match-up of the 2022 season and failed miserably in their 24-8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Washington will face another division match-up this weekend when they face the Dallas Cowboys.
Two teams on different trajectories. The Cowboys were expected to fall apart when they lost quarterback Dak Prescott, but have put together back-to-back wins with Cooper Rush at the helm. Dallas knocked off the previously undefeated New York Giants 23-16 in the Monday Night game.
The Commanders started the season on a winning note, but have since dropped their last two. And failed to score a single point in the first half of both games.
So how is this week’s upcoming NFC East match-up, shaping up?
The Washington Commanders weren’t just bad on Sunday, they were downright awful. In fact, break out the Thesaurus and look for even more colorful words that denote such a performance – dreadful, cataclysmic, abysmal, disastrous, horrendous, horrific. You get the picture. They all fit.
The Commanders took on division rival Philadelphia Eagles and just flat out mailed it in – pretty much across the board. Washington was lucky to get away with the 24-8 loss. It could have been considerably worse. Especially considering the Eagles were up 24-0 at half time.
To be frank, the Commanders were so bad that it was tough to find a single player to say positive things about.
