Key Contributors Toward Commanders Playoff Chances
Quarterback Sam Howell had some great moments and some terrible ones. Washington's weapons, mainly Brian Robinson, Terry McLaurin, and Jahan Dotson, all had mediocre to lackluster seasons. No Commanders offensive player performed well enough to push the team over the top.
Washington traded arguably their two best defenders before the trade deadline, and the defense went from bad to terrible. Jon Allen and Daron Payne both had down seasons, and Washington's secondary was the worst in football.
Needless to say, a major overhaul is needed in 2024. That started with the team drafting QB Jayden Daniels second overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Now, the hope is that Daniels can help turn things around.
