Overview: Ron Rivera was fired as
coach after failing to produce a winning
record in four seasons in Washington.
Last season was especially horrendous
as the Commanders finished 4-13 and
were last in the NFL in turnover differential (-14), scoring defense (30.5 points
per game allowed) and point differential (-189). New coach Dan Quinn has a
complete rebuild on his hands. Jayden
Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick in the
draft, will be Washington’s eighth Week
1 starting quarterback in as many years.
