The Washington Commanders have a chance to make another big statement this weekend when the Los Angeles Rams visit Northwest Stadium. If head coach Dan Quinn's squad pulls off an upset, it could push general manager Adam Peters to adopt a more aggressive approach before the 2026 trade deadline.
That will be easier said than done.
The Rams have started to find some form over recent games. All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett is back, and their offense looks much more balanced now that the ground game has improved.
Washington will have its work cut out for it, especially with so many injuries to key personnel.
