The Washington Commanders got absolutely walloped by the Dallas Cowboys, going down 37-20 in Week 2, and what a mess it was. This is the team our reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are heading to face in their Week 3 home opener. We’re talking about a squad reeling from a tough loss, bad calls, and a mounting injury list even before they see the Emerald City’s finest on their turf.
Injuries Piling Up and Officials Blowing Calls, Sound Familiar?
Winning in the NFL is brutal, we all know that, but when the refs are actively snatching touchdowns away with some truly horrendous calls and no-calls, it just compounds the misery. The Commanders certainly had their share of those, which definitely impacted the outcome. But even worse? Their injury report looks like a casualty list. Quarterback Jayden Daniels went down, and that was a “major difference-maker” in the game. On top of him, Brandon Coleman, Javon Kinlaw, and Sam Cosmi all exited with various injuries. It sounds like a brutal, tough game from start to finish, and now they have to pick themselves up for a home opener against *us*.
Diggs Did His Thing, But One WR Can’t Carry the Team
Amidst all that chaos and injury, Commanders receiver Stefon Diggs actually showed up. He was a reliable target all game, earning Player of the Game honors for their squad. Diggs snagged five catches on six targets for 47 yards and, most importantly, two touchdowns. He was finding ways to get open, catch the ball, and score points. You gotta respect that kind of performance when everything else is falling apart. Meanwhile, Terry McLaurin had a day he’d rather forget, catching only two passes on nine targets and dropping more balls than we’ve probably ever seen from him. One guy can’t do it all, and Diggs’ efforts just weren’t enough to overcome the overall team struggles and the injury bug.
Now, knowing what they’re up against, the Commanders have to pull themselves together to host our reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. You know our guys are gonna be ready to roll into their house for Week 3. This is a chance for our Hawks to really set the tone early in the season and show everyone why that Lombardi Trophy lives here. Let’s get it, 12s!
