The Washington Commanders are 2-5-1 after a Week 9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at home on Sunday afternoon. That loss dimmed their hopes of going on an improbable run to win the division title is a weak NFC East, but didn’t completely take it off the table. The Commanders now have a lot to think about before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.
Washington goes on the road this week to take on the New York Giants for the second time this season. The first game ended in an embarrassing tie after Jayden Daniels
and the Commanders allowed time to run out in overtime without attempting a game-winning field goal. The Giants are 5-2-1 after beating the Eagles in Philly and are on track to win the division if someone else doesn’t wake up. Can Washington step up, or are they packing it in for the next season, and the next coach?
