The Washington Commanders are ushering in a new era.
In his second season as owner, Josh Harris has overhauled the franchise's on-field composition. A new head coach and general manager duo of Dan Quinn and Adam Peters, a dual-threat rookie quarterback in Jayden Daniels and a strong free agency cast headlined by Super Bowl-winning linebacker Bobby Wagner – all ingredients of a potential resurgence of professional football in the District.
But will such a resurgence happen? Sportskeeda's NFL Playoff Predictor delves into the Commanders' chances of making the playoffs next season.

Week 1: Commanders at Buccaneers
Commanders win 31-16 to open their new era. Potential highlights include multiple sacks on Baker Mayfield by the defense, while the Commanders' upgraded offensive line does well enough to give Jayden Daniels much passing and rushing room. Austin Ekeler also proves a solid offensive option.

The Commanders lose for the first time, 28-26, as Marvin Harrison Jr. dominates the game, racking up plenty of passes and yards.
