The Washington Commanders have been one of the most surprising teams in the NFL this season. They finished with just four wins last season and generally weren't expected to be much better once the 2024 campaign rolled around. However, they are 8-5 and control their playoff fate as they prepare to visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon. Washington rolled to a 7-2 record before enduring a three-game losing streak. The Commanders rebounded with a 42-19 home victory against the Tennessee Titans on Dec. 1 before having their bye last week. "We needed some space to heal up and to get healthy," Commanders first-year coach Dan Quinn said of the brief hiatus.
