The Washington Commanders take on the New York Giants to kick off their 2025 season on Sunday, from the friendly confines of Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md.
Entering the season, one of the biggest storylines to monitor in Washington was how the Commanders' revamped defensive line would fare. It has been viewed as a concern throughout the summer, despite the high-priced new addition of Javon Kinlaw.
Additionally, the Commanders signed veteran defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. In his first regular-season showing, the nine-year NFL journeyman has been quite visible — for both positive and negative reasons.
