K’Lavon Chaisson just dropped a bombshell, telling everyone the Washington Commanders are still locked in on Super Bowl LXI, even with a brutal 1-3-1 start to the 2026 season. Yeah, you read that right. A 1-3-1 record and they’re talking Super Bowl.
“Full Belief” or Full Blown Delusion?
Chaisson isn’t just saying it, he *believes* it. He was talking to the guys, saying the full belief is there. “13-3-1 is a weird Super Bowl-winning record, but s–t, we’ll take it. Whatever it takes to get there,” he said earlier this week to DC News Now. You gotta love that fire, right? That absolute refusal to give up. But man, the reality check hits hard when you look at the standings.
Right now, Washington is dead last in the NFC East. We’re talking behind the New York Giants (3-1-1), the Philadelphia Eagles (2-3-0), and even the Dallas Cowboys (2-3-0). The whole division’s been a mess early, with all three struggling, but Washington is digging themselves a serious hole. For Chaisson to be talking 13-3-1, that means they’d have to go 12-0 or 12-0-1 the rest of the way. That’s not just a tall order, that’s like climbing Everest in flip-flops.
Daniels Needs to Learn, and Fast
And let’s not even get started on the offense. Jayden Daniels finally came back from that elbow injury before Week 5. Everyone was hoping for a spark, a turnaround. What did we get? A tie against the Giants last Sunday. And Daniels himself admitted he messed up, not giving his team enough time for a game-winning overtime field goal. That’s a rookie mistake, man, no matter how many games you’ve played. He said Thursday he hoped to learn from the gaffe by being “more aware” when managing games going forward.
More aware? You *have* to be aware of the clock in overtime, especially when your team is already fighting an uphill battle. That gaffe arguably cost them a crucial win, plain and simple.
So, what’s next for a team that thinks 13-3-1 is a Super Bowl record? They’ve gotta put that “lesson learned” from Daniels into action, and fast. Because Monday night, they’re heading to Santa Clara to face the *undefeated* San Francisco 49ers. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. Chaisson’s talking about needing a 12-game win streak to make his wild Super Bowl LXI dream a reality. You want to see belief? This is it. But can they actually pull it off starting against *that* team? The stakes are massive. If they want to even *think* about that crazy record Chaisson mentioned, it starts Monday night. No excuses, no more ties. This is where you find out if that “full belief” is real, or just talk.
