The Washington Commanders (4-10) face the New York Jets (5-9) on Sunday in a game that has significant implications — for the 2024 NFL draft.
The Commanders currently hold the No. 4 position in next spring’s draft, with the Jets right behind them at No. 5. So, for two teams going nowhere this season, a win could be detrimental to offseason plans.
Washington enters Sunday having lost five consecutive games and seven of its last eight. The Jets have struggled, too, but they still have an elite defense. New York’s primary issue is on the offensive side of the ball. With Aaron Rodgers out for the season, Zach Wilson has struggled. Now, Wilson is out for Sunday’s game due to a concussion, and veteran Trevor Siemian will start against the Commanders.
This game could be really ugly.
