Commanders keep playing wild and wacky games. They’ve gotten better at winning them

— For the second time this season, the Washington Commanders gave up points in the final two minutes of regulation and came back to win on a last-gasp touchdown. “I think we just believe in one another,” said six-time All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner, a Super Bowl champion in Seattle who’s in his first season with Washington. “We’ll get that cleaned up.” Stock up Crowder made one catch on one target for 5 yards in the season opener and played a combined 12 snaps in Weeks 1-3. “He might have been out of football technically for 2-3 months, and this is not an easy thing to do, so for him to come back and make the impact he’s had, that’s a man I respect a lot.” Crowder was a fourth-round pick in 2015 and played his first four seasons in Washington before three with the New York Jets, one with Buffalo and a return in the fall of 2023. “I knew once I got my opportunity I’d be able to just fit right in,” Crowder said.

So Austin Seibert’s kick that would have forced an improbable tie with the Dallas Cowboys — after Daniels somehow sent Terry McLaurin on his way for a ridiculous 86-yard touchdown pass with 21 seconds remaining — flew wide left. In the …

When much of the chatter after the Washington Commanders’ latest loss was about whether Chase Young or Montez Sweat — or both — had played his final game for the team, the pass rushers were eager to deflect the trade talk to football. “There’s enough potential in that locker room to be a better football team,” coach Ron Rivera said. …

Ron Rivera did not sound like a coach enjoying a comeback win after his Washington Commanders did, in fact, beat the Arizona Cardinals in front of a sellout crowd at home. “We really do appreciate them coming out, and we’ve got to be a better football team for them.” The joy of a celebrating a 20-16 victory and handing Josh …

Commanders have run a bunch of play-action, to no avail. Why? Can it be fixed?

New York Times  

ASHBURN, Va. — There’s no deception about the Washington Commanders’ struggles with play-action. “First things first, we gotta protect the quarterback,” offensive coordinator Scott Turner said last week. Dotson’s pre-draft questions for The Athletic’s draft insider Dane Brugler included “marginal body strength and can be knocked off his route path by defenders.” Two of Dotson’s TD grabs came despite blanket …
