The Washington Commanders have now lost four of their last five games after Sunday’s disappointing 14-7 loss to the 1-5 New York Giants. The Commanders, 3-4, will host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, a rematch from their Week 4 meeting, which Philadelphia won 34-31 in overtime.
Washington began the season 2-0 before being blown out 37-3 at home to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3. But the Commanders rebounded by almost beating the defending NFC champions on the road in Week 4. That led many to believe Washington’s performance in Week 3 may have been an aberration.
Unfortunately for the Commanders, losses to the 0-4 Bears and 1-5 Giants make it painfully clear where Washington resides in the NFL.
How far did the Commanders fall in the latest rankings? As you’d expect, it’s not pretty.
