The Commanders Have Been Added to a List… But Probably Not One They Want To Be On


The Washington Commanders have just suffered a home loss as a 9 point favorite to the visiting New York Giants on Sunday, Head Coach Ron Rivera has been given the highest odds to be the next NFL coach to be fired, and now The Commanders have made another list…

Washington is now one of seven NFL teams with at least a 1% chance at “earning” the number 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. ESPN sports analytics writer Seth Walder has included Washington, which now has a 1.1% chance at the number 1 pick in the next NFL draft, as tied for 6th with the Tennessee Titans at a shot at the top pick.

The team dropped to 4-7, and is technically still in play for a wild card playoff spot, but does not look to be trending in that direction. They’ve suffered losses to the Bears, who have the highest shot at the number 1 pick, and two losses to the Giants, who are also ahead of the Commanders on the list. The full list can be seen below.
