From a lowly start, losing to the Bucs 20-37 in Week 1, Dan Quinn’s Commanders have come together to establish a clear identity as the scrappy underdog that no team should want to meet in the playoffs.
The Commanders opened the season with an over-under of 6.5 wins. They finished the season at 12-5 to clinch the 6th seed in the NFC playoffs. Along the way, they showed an ability to dominate weaker teams and to play close with some of the best teams in the NFL. Ten of their games were decided by one touchdown or less.
