Commanders' shocking problem refuses to fade at the quarter mark

The Washington Commanders entered the 2025 season with high hopes and a revamped roster. They made perceived upgrades at several key positions and were riding high after making the NFC Championship game.

One of those positions was cornerback. Marshon Lattimore, Trey Amos, and Mike Sainristil looked to form one of the league's stronger defensive backfields, with Jonathan Jones and Noah Igbinoghene providing quality depth.

Instead, the unit has been a glaring weakness for the Commanders, who have begun their season with a mediocre 2-2 record. There's still plenty of time for Washington to measure up to its lofty expectations, but the cornerbacks will have to turn it around quickly.
