The Washington Commanders have life. Everyone expected them to beat the under-strength Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football, and head coach Dan Quinn's squad recovered from a tough start to comfortably achieve this objective.
A glimmer of light now appears at the end of the tunnel. But make no mistake; there is still a long way to go before confidence in this project increases.
Beating the Eagles was just the start. The Commanders still have problems to solve, and their injury issues show no signs of slowing down. Quinn is experienced enough to know that one win counts for nothing, and the pressure will build once again if this cannot be sustained.
