When was the moment the season changed for the Washington Commanders? What moment set in motion this five-out-of-six-win run that puts the Commanders at 6-5 and very much in the NFL playoff hunt?
Was it when their second-round draft choice at running back recovered and took the field after being shot on the streets of D. C.?
Was it when their $28 million quarterback who they traded three draft choices for was injured and could no longer play?
Or was it way back on Aug. 9, when the team looked in disarray when head coach Ron Rivera announced they had fired their defensive line coach halfway through training camp?
