Washington Commanders fans were dreaming of lifting a Super Bowl in 2025 after reaching the NFC Championship game last season. What's followed has been nothing short of disastrous.
Running it back with the NFL's oldest roster was a calculated risk by general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn. It's backfired spectacularly, with the Commanders sitting at 3-6 after returning to the same bad habits that have plagued the franchise for decades.
There are mitigating circumstances attached, of course. The Commanders have suffered more injuries than almost any other team, and it's exposed not only their lack of depth but also their complete reluctance to involve younger players consistently.
