Why the Washington Commanders Could Be Facing Their Toughest Season Yet: 8 Unexpected Challenges Ahead
This will sound like some “hater sh*t,” but Washington got dumb lucky last year and was 8-4 in one-score games. This included a 21-18 win over the New York Giants, who were missing their kicker, in Week 2, that crazy walk-off, a Hail Mary win over the Chicago Bears in Week 8, and a three-point win vs. the Philadelphia Eagles with backup QB Kenny Pickett playing most of the game.ÂÂ
Even Washington’s playoff run was fluky. The Commanders upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 in the 2025 NFC wild-card game with a 20% post-game win expectancy, per FTN Fantasy. Then, Washington knocked off the 1-seed Detroit Lions 45-31, who were missing several key defensive players, including NFL Defensive Player of the Year frontrunner, Aidan Hutchinson. ÂÂ
