"The NFL doesn't come up for air at any stage during the calendar year. But for the first time in months, Washington Commanders fans and others around the league have a regular-season contest firmly in their sights. It was an unbelievable turnaround from the Commanders in 2024. Dan Quinn spearheaded a cultural renaissance that saw the squad go from bottom feeders to the NFC Championship game in Year 1 of his leadership."
"Maintaining these high standards is the tricky part. The Commanders might think they are still the hunters, but they are now the hunted to everyone else. Opposing teams will see them as a major scalp to knock off. This brings a different set of pressure, which is also why general manager Adam Peters was more aggressive than ever during his second recruitment period at the helm."
The NFL operates year-round and the Washington Commanders transformed from bottom feeders into NFC Championship contenders under Dan Quinn in 2024. The team must sustain elevated standards while opponents view them as a major scalp. General manager Adam Peters acted aggressively during his second recruitment period to meet new expectations. A sold-out Northwest Stadium will host Week 1 against the New York Giants, a game many expect Washington to win despite typical Week 1 unpredictability. The Giants boast a fierce pass rush led by Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and No. 3 pick Abdul Cater. Rookie Josh Conerly Jr. is slated to start at right tackle and faces a baptism of fire.
