New York lost their kicker on the opening kickoff and had to eschew PATs and field goals, while Washington’s fifth of the calendar year booted a franchise-record seven field goals in a 21-18 win. Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky than good?

The Commanders just showed who they are: a high-powered offense led by the team’s best quarterback since Joe Theismann nearly 40 years ago. Jayden Daniels and Washington – even with a bad defense – put the NFL on alert.

In one breath, off the field, Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels showed why he may become Washington’s best quarterback since Joe Theismann nearly 40 years ago. Rick Snider explains.

Daniels was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month on Thursday after leading Washington to a surprising 3-1 start, and has three Rookie of the Week honors in four games - but he knows that the key word in those awards is he’s still a Rookie.

The Commanders learned some harsh truth about this season after losing the Beltway battle with the Ravens on Sunday in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated.

After the Washington Commanders retired Darrell Green’s No. 28 jersey on Sunday, it is easy to say who’s next. But Rick Snider says great thought should be given when considering the next Redskins great to be honored.

Maybe the season doesn’t end with a parade, but as Rick Snider writes, the Hail Mary win over the Bears showed the Commanders are for real, and football is fun once more in Washington.

It’s time for the Washington Commanders to go all in to get a cornerback and edge rusher before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. trade deadline. This is the time when Adam Peters should shove some chips into the middle of the table.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn’s stunning early success mirrors Lincoln’s approach. Unlike most NFL coaches who hire buddies for assistant jobs, Quinn largely went outside his past coaching tree to hire those who never worked with him.

Little things add up to costly lessons, which Washington found out in a 28-27 loss to Pittsburgh. As Rick Snider writes, the Commanders are a very good team, but crossing over to great takes time.
