Former quarterback gives his thoughts on current Washington Commanders sensation

“[I]t’s not just Jayden Daniels,” [said Griffin]. He is the one [who] has invigorated the city and taken over the city. And I’ll say this, and I’ve told you this before, ‘When you win in D.C., there’s no better city to be in. And when...

Former Eagles coach Pederson helped usher Sirianni in as Philly coach

The last time Eagles coach Nick Sirianni strolled the sidelines at Lincoln Financial Field, “Fire Nick” chants were raining down on him.

The offense was sputtering against the Cleveland Browns and the Eagles were coming off a lopsided loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs and, after enduring an epic collapse the season before, the fan base had no patience for any of it....

The hero of Sunday’s victory over the Bears

We will end this article by looking forward to the upcoming game against the Giants and predictions about the team’s record for the month of November, but before we move forward, I thought it would be worthwhile to take one last moment to savor the victory over the Bears — Washington’s first victory over a team with a winning record this season, and one that featured a spectacular finish that NFL fans will talk about for decades.

In this week’s Reacts survey, we asked Hogs Haven readers to say...

Snap Counts Plus: Week 8 Commanders vs Bears

Snap Counts Plus: Week 8 Commanders vs Bears

Divine providence in Landover

If there had been any doubt remaining about who is the star of the 2024 draft class, it was settled on Sunday night. With 2 seconds remaining, and the Commanders trailing 12-15, Jayden Daniels scrambled for over 12 seconds and then unleashed a 52 yard pass, which was tipped to Noah Brown in the end zone for the win.

With the miraculous completion, Daniels became the first Washington QB to throw for a game winning touchdown on the final play of regulation since at least 1994, when searchable records start on Pro Football Reference.

Practice notes | Quinn hopes Commanders defense took another step forward with recent success

The fact that Washington’s defense was the unit keeping hopes alive against the Bears shows just how far the unit has come in two months. They were ranked 26th in yards allowed heading into the first matchup against the New York Giants. Now, days ahead of the rematch, they’re a much more respectable group, ranking 13th in yards allowed,...

Howie Roseman should sit out the trade deadline

If Roseman trades, say, Isaiah Rodgers for the better end of a pick swap or straight up for a pick, go right ahead.

But don’t go making trades to try to add to the 2024 roster. For one, this team isn’t a player away from being a top tier team, and even if it was that kind of player isn’t available in-season. Case in...

As the midpoint of the season arrives, it’s time to talk seriously about Jayden Daniels as the league MVP

Survey results!!!

In a national email survey sent to registered participants in the Reacts survey program run by SB Nation, fans of all 32 NFL teams were asked to identify which player from a list of nominees has been the Most Valuable Player of the 2024 season so far.

The results offer encouragement to Commanders fans.

While Jared Goff led the voting, Washington’s rookie phenom, quarterback Jayden Daniels, polled second, just 3 percentage points behind the Lions signal caller.

Traditionally, rookies are not considered contenders for the prestigious MVP award, so the seemingly serious consideration given to Daniels, even though...

Film Session: Johnny Newton’s great game against Chicago is just the start

A film Session breaking down Johnny Newton’s standout performance against the Chicago Bears

Commanders rookie defensive lineman Johnny Newton had a great game against the Chicago Bears, and fortunately for Washington, this is just the start. Newton finished with three tackles, one sack, three QB hits, eight pressures, and one fumble recovery in his second start of the season.

From an athletic and technical standpoint, Newton flashed defending the run and as a pass rusher against the Bears. His initial quickness and change of direction stood out throughout the game athletically, and his hand usage and ability to leverage offensive...
