The Washington Commanders fell to 4-10 after a 28-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15. Perhaps most importantly, at this point, Washington remained in the No. 4 position in the 2024 NFL draft order.
The Commanders appeared headed for another blowout loss against the Rams, but head coach Ron Rivera made a quarterback change midway through the fourth quarter. Veteran Jacoby Brissett replaced Sam Howell under center and led two late touchdown drives to make the final score more respectable.
Rivera said after the game the move was to protect Howell and that he remained Washington’s starting quarterback for the remainder of the season.
While the Commanders lost, so did the rest of the NFC East. For the first time this season, all four division teams lost on the same weekend. How did that impact the newest power rankings?
