Commanders vs. Dolphins: Three must-know storylines for Madrid game on Sunday

Will Commanders defense see difference in Quinn’s takeover?

Head coach Dan Quinn announced this week that he will assume defensive play-calling duties, a move that comes after Washington allowed 82 total points in the last two games.

The NFL’s field director Nick Pappas told AP last month that changes would have to be made to the Bernabeu pitch, as “the needs of the surface drastically increase when compared to soccer (in terms of) traction and stabilisation”.

The pitch’s dimensions, 105 x 68 metres, also needed to be extended to meet the NFL specifications of 109.7 x 48.8 metres. This was not a problem because the front rows of seats...

Fan Confidence

As measured by our Reacts survey this week, fan confidence has fallen to just 32% among Hogs Haven readers, the lowest point of the season excepting the 27% nadir reached in Week 8.

The clear proximate cause for this loss of confidence is the current 5-game losing streak, which includes losses by a margin of 21 points or more in each of the last four games. But the issues likely go well beyond that losing streak.

The manner of the losses, in which the team’s defense has looked uncompetitive and the team overall has appeared overmatched,...
