To say the Washington Commanders have exceeded expectations in 2024 is a wild understatement.
At 7-3, they’ve already blown past their preseason betting total of 6.5 wins with seven games to spare. Retread head coach Dan Quinn, at one point seeming more like a consolation prize in the Ben Johnson sweepstakes than a preferred hire, has brought his infectious energy and attitude, and shifted the mindset of an entire organization. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, who was last seen in the NFL ejecting out of Phoenix and from a listless Cardinals team and needing such a life reset he took a trip to Thailand, has turned a unit led by a rookie QB, a frustratingly underutilized wide receiver and a smattering of glue guys and role players into one of the best offenses in the NFL.
