The Washington Commanders dropped their sixth consecutive game Sunday, falling 30-28 to the New York Jets. The Commanders are now 4-11 and have also lost eight of their last nine and 11 of their past 13 games.
Washington began Sunday’s game about as poorly as we’ve seen from an NFL team in years. There were dropped passes, penalties, ineffective QB play, turnovers, a blocked punt, a muffed kick return, bad defense and so much more.
Yet, somehow, the Commanders overcame a 27-7 deficit midway through the third quarter to take a 28-27 lead late in the fourth quarter behind quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who replaced Sam Howell under center.
It was an overall bad performance from Washington despite the Commanders coming all the way back. The Jets are bad, yet Washington’s defense made them look like a competent NFL offense at times.
So, which players stood out — good and bad — from the Commanders’ loss to the Jets?
Here is our Week 16 version of studs and duds.
