The Washington Commanders are 4-1 and first in the NFC East, but their first five opponents have a combined record of 9-16, and they’ll have a true litmus test in Week 6.
Washington will face the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, and it’ll be a massive jump in competition against a 3-2 team that looks like a potential Super Bowl favorite.
Jonathan Allen was with Washington when it was one of the worst organizations in the NFL, and he’s excited about a matchup that can be a “measuring stick” for just how talented Dan Quinn’s team really is.
The Commanders are moving up a weight class this weekend against the Ravens.
Is this a measuring stick game for Washington?

Washington has a 3-4 overall record against Baltimore and a 1-1 record on the road against the Ravens, but that was before Jayden Daniels arrived.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 draft, Daniels is the first player in NFL history to have had 1,000-plus passing yards and 250-plus rushing yards in their first five career games.
