Marshon Lattimore has been one of the biggest scapegoats behind the Washington Commanders' failure to meet raised expectations through eight weeks of the season. The veteran cornerback is held to a higher standard, and the four-time Pro Bowler's inconsistent play has inevitably drawn the ire of fans.
Lattimore is getting exposed too often in coverage. He's been burned on explosive plays too easily, and his poor technique has led to countless defensive pass interference penalties in critical moments. The pressure was on to turn the tide, especially considering serious questions are starting to swirl about the player's future in Washington beyond the 2025 campaign.
