The Washington Commanders were playing for nothing other than pride, but they still had the chance to play spoiler with some hated rivals the rest of the way. Alas, it wasn't to be.
However, there was one exceptional performance from a player whose future might not be as clear-cut as it once appeared.
This was the first time head coach Dan Quinn had faced the Philadelphia Eagles this season. The schedulers and fans thought there would be much more on the line down the stretch. It wasn't to be from Washington's perspective, but they proved willing to fight with everything they had to salvage some momentum from the campaign.
