The Miami Dolphins gave the Washington Commanders their fourth consecutive loss Sunday in a 45-15 blowout that felt much worse. The loss was also Washington’s sixth in its last seven and nine of its last 11 games.
It was the Commanders’ first game without defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, and nothing changed. It was Washington’s second straight game of allowing 45 points.
Meanwhile, Washington’s offense wasn’t much better. Quarterback Sam Howell had a career-low 127 passing yards, was sacked three times and had another interception returned for a touchdown — his third in the last three weeks.
