QB play aside, Washington Commanders fans see Defense as the most critical factor in 2022 success

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Each week in the regular season and periodically during the offseason, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Washington football fans and NFL fans across the country. Sign up here to join Reacts.

Earlier this week, Hogs Haven asked its readers the following question:

Aside from the play of quarterback Carson Wentz, which of the following will have the biggest impact on the Commanders success in the 2022 season?

  • overall defensive performance
  • blocking of the offensive line
  • production of offensive skill players
  • coaching
  • strength of schedule
  • injuries and recovery from injuries

The answer, by a wide margin, was “overall defensive performance”.
