The Washington Commanders enter Week 3 facing a crossroads that could make or break their campaign. After a disappointing loss to the Green Bay Packers, they'll be at home against the Las Vegas Raiders, with a four-day rest advantage.
Needless to say, this is a game the Commanders should win. It's a game they absolutely must win. If they don't, any credibility around the league as a Super Bowl hopeful will instantly fall apart, and team morale could spiral out of control.
Washington would be viewed as one of the season's biggest disappointments before September is even over.
