The stakes have been raised for the Washington Commanders in 2025. No longer is this once-downtrodden franchise expected to be languishing among the bottom feeders. Fans and analysts are anticipating another deep postseason run in the second year under Dan Quinn's leadership.
Whether the Commanders have enough to achieve this feat is debatable. Adam Peters made some aggressive moves over his second recruitment period. The squad appears stronger on paper, but some potential flaws could hold them back if an injury or two were to affect the roster.
Washington's schedule is tougher. There is a lot of travel and no routine after being given so many standalone games.
