The Washington Commanders needed everyone to perform above expectations to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. Despite an encouraging first half, that didn't happen.
Dan Quinn's squad was blighted by the same problems that have seen them regress in 2025. Poor defensive communication, injuries, a lack of offensive execution in key moments, and aging legs failing to keep up all reared their ugly head once again. And fans are becoming increasingly frustrated.
The Commanders are now 3-5 with the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions on deck.
