10 quick facts about Washington HOFer Art Monk

• In 1984, Monk became the first player in NFL history to record more than 100 receptions in a single season, recording 106 catches for 1,372 yards and seven touchdowns. He also led the league with 154 targets that season.

Commanders quarterly report: Three-game skid sets up do-or-die stretch

Now Washington is 3-5, with [an ever-mounting...
