The Washington Commanders victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday was a bit if an anomaly. Why? Because Washington haven’t opened a season at 2-0 since the Occupy Wall Street movement.
That’s right, they haven’t won their first two regular season games since 2011.
It was a very tight game. Perhaps more poignantly, it definitely didn’t look like it was going to happen for at least half of the game. In fact, it almost fell through at the last moment as well.

When Pro Football Focus (PFF) released their rankings of the NFL starting quarterbacks last week, the world stopped and took notice. Okay, not really, but if you didn’t know, last week PFF released their offseason thoughts on quarterbacks for the upcoming season. How did the Washington Commanders’ Sam Howell do? Not particularly well. Where Did … Read more
More than three hundred of College Football’s top football players will descend on Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis this week, for the NFL Scouting Combine. It is one of the highlights of the offseason, as players attempt to improve their status for the NFL Draft in April. Players have started arriving for their on-field workouts that begin today.
General Managers, coaches and scouts from every NFL team will conduct interviews and observe medical evaluations, as well as eye ball the on-field workouts, in an attempt to get a leg up for their selection in Kansas City at the Draft (April 27th-29th).
With nothing to play for but pride, the Washington Commanders handed the Dallas Cowboys their proverbial behinds in the final game of the 2022 regular season. Washington outclassed the Cowboys 26-6 largely on the strength of a colossal effort from their defense.
In what may very well have been the very last time that the Commanders took the field with Dan Snyder as owner, there wasn’t much to play for. Perhaps that’s fitting given the tumultuous times of the past two decades-plus under Snyder’s thumb. Washington were eliminated from Wild Card contention in Week 17, and no result from them in Week 18 was going to change that.
Given that, the Commanders chose to sit some regulars in lieu of evaluating some talent that had seen little or no playing time this season. That included getting quarterback Sam Howell his first start.
It’s opening day. Washington will hit Fed Ex Field as the Commanders for the very first time.
So who’s playing and who’s not?
Here is a list of both teams’ inactives:
The Washington Commanders kicked off their inaugural season yesterday with a 23-21 loss to the Carolina Panthers. NFL pre-season games mean less and less each year it seems, but what good and bad things can be drawn from the Commanders’ first game?
The Washington Commanders went into the 2022 NFL Draft having just six draft selections. They would make eight selections over the weekend, and a strong day on Day 3 would help them fortify a solid 2022 draft haul.
They parlayed their eleventh overall pick, into the sixteenth overall pick and two additional picks. A deal to move down with the New Orleans Saints, netted Washington a third round and a fourth round pick – 98th and 120th overall respectively.
