The Washington Commanders didn't exactly excel during the preseason. But history suggests there is no reason for fans to get overly concerned.
For a team looking to prove its stunning run to the NFC Championship game last winter was no fluke, it's less than ideal. Critics have loudly speculated all offseason that the Commanders are due for regression in 2025, and their preseason performance has validated that.
It's also only preseason. What happens in August correlates very little with what happens between September and December, and ideally for Washington, in January and February.
