Modified Jan 26, 2023 13:45 GMT

After the final game of the regular season, we learned a few points. First, the Washington Commanders will get the 16th overall choice in the 2023 NFL draft, and we already know who they'll be facing next season.

The Commanders' season got off to a challenging 1-4 start, but they eventually recovered and have a lot to be enthusiastic about for the following season. The second part of their 2022 season featured victories over the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers, which were their high points.

They suffered because they were in the NFC East, which is a very competitive division, but their 6-1 run at a point late in the season transformed them into a serious postseason candidate. In the end, they had a dismal 8-8-1 record.

Many forecasts and predictions made before the year saw the Commanders winning between six and nine games. However, their decision to sign QB Carson Wentz significantly influenced the predictions.

For the team, Wentz ended up being the starter in seven games. In those contests, the Commanders went 2-5. In eight starts at quarterback, Taylor Heinicke was 5-3-1, while Sam Howell, a rookie, was 1-0 after helping his club defeat the Dallas Cowboys in their last regular-season game.
