WATCH: 3 reasons why Washington Commanders defense has them poised for success
Apr. 25, 2024 – 02:33 – Last year, the Washington Football Team came into the season as a team expected to vie for a playoff spot coming out of the NFC East. But they finished with the same amount of wins as a season ago, going 7-10. Much of this came down to losing Ryan Fitzpatrick for all but one game. 2022 on the other hand, for the Washington Commanders, figures to be different, with Carson Wentz.
But it’s not just the lack of FitzMagic or the addition of Wentz, let’s be honest, the defense let everyone down. This was supposed to be a well-oiled unit led by Ron Rivera. One that gets after quarterbacks in three seconds or less, instead? They got torched, allowing 25.5 points per game, and the most passing touchdowns per contest, it was a mess.
