Last year, his first with the Commanders, Ertz caught seven passes (his highest single-season total since 2019) while helping Washington reach its first NFC title game since 1991. He already has a team high four touchdown receptions this year and is second to only Deebo Samuel for the team lead in receptions and receiving yards.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice could receive an NFL fine for throwing the ball at the head of Commanders safety Quan Martin in Week 8.

Behind a new owner, general manager and starting quarterback, Washington shocked the league and made the conference title game last year. One year later, the franchise is trying to remain a contender.

There was no bigger story in the NFL last season than the spectacular play of Daniels and the Commanders, who bounced back from a 3-14 record in 2023 and watched the No. 2 overall pick lead them too a 12-5 regular season record and the NFC Championship Game.

Washington was routed 28–7 by the Chiefs on Monday night to fall to 3–5 on the season and has minimal draft capital to improve its outlook.
