The Washington Commanders are 3-7 after their Week 10 loss to the Detroit Lions, their fifth setback in a row. And fans are unsurprisingly pointing fingers of blame.
This season started with the Commanders harboring legitimate Super Bowl aspirations, but it's not gone according to the script. Joe Whitt Jr., the popular whipping boy, was finally demoted from his duties as defensive coordinator. Head coach Dan Quinn has taken heat as well, and, on the field, nobody has been immune to harsh criticism.
Most of them deserve it. But one scapegoat narrative remains as silly as it was when it first emerged, back before the campaign even started.
