There’s a new sheriff in Washington. Amid his torrid stretch over the last few games, the Washington Commanders are promoting Taylor Heinicke to the starting quarterback role over Carson Wentz, league sources tell Ian Rapoport.

The Taylor Heinicke experience will continue for at least another week for the Washington Commanders.

Taylor Heinicke is stabilizing the Washington Commanders one game at a time.

The Philadelphia Eagles got their first taste of losing in the 2022 season against the Washington Commanders.

In the NFL, fortune favors the bold. Sure, teams can win games by dinking and dunking their way up and down a field in a slow matriculation that ticks time off of the clocks and slowly puts points on the board, but nothing’s more entertaining than a big 50-yard completion down the field for a […]

It’s hardly a secret that Carson Wentz isn’t long for the nation’s capitol.

The Washington Commanders are not a dominating team, but they have won 3 games in a row as they prepare to host the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings in Week 9.

And just like that, Week 8 of the 2022 NFL regular season is upon us. But there is still a lot of football to be played. Whether your fantasy football team is crushing it or trailing the competition, there is never a bad time to improve by way of adding key players from the waiver […]

The Commanders Week 7 win vs. the Green Bay Packers was a huge W that allows the NFC East team to stay in the NFC Wild Card race.

The NFC East has been the biggest surprise of the NFL season through Week 5. The Philadelphia Eagles are the only undefeated team left in the NFL. Both the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys sit at 4-1. But Carson Wentz and the Washington Commanders are the odd team out. After an intriguing Week 1 […]

As tough as it may be to admit, the Washington Commanders are not a good football team. Their defense has allowed at least 21 points in all five games of the 2022 NFL season so far, surrendering an average of 25.6 per game, and their offense hasn’t been able to pay off that tab on […]

The Washington Commanders have endured plenty of transition and drama over the past few years.

The Washington Commanders, formerly known as the Washington Football Team, had a less than stellar 2021 season. Last season, they won the NFC East and had a playoff run (short-lived, but still). This season, they finished third in their division and their season was over by Week 17. Of course, a lot of this can […]

With a cloud of uncertainty surrounding the quarterback situation of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, this now creates a void at the quarterback spot that they’ll want to fill ahead of next season.
