A week after a close loss to the NFL-leading Philadelphia Eagles, the Commanders bounced back with a close win over the New England Patriots, who are in last place in the AFC. Of Washington’s 4 wins this season, 3 were against teams that are currently in last place in their divisions, and 2 were against teams that are last in their conferences.
