The Washington Commanders made the NFC Championship game for the first time since 1991 last season, and while falling short to the rival Philadelphia Eagles, we saw a glimpse of the potential future in the DMV.

A fiery offense combined with a smothering defense could be the formula for winning once again in 2025, as the PFSN playoff simulator has the Commanders with a good chance of a deep playoff run.

“No team surpassed expectations quite like the Washington Commanders in 2024. They went 4-13 the year before but shot all the way up to 12-5 in 2024, making it to the NFC Championship game in Dan Quinn’s first season as head coach and Jayden Daniels’ first season as their quarterback,” PFSN wrote. “The Commanders got better on paper with additions like Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel this offseason. One should assume Daniels retains his high level of play in Year 2.

“The pass rush could use some work, but overall, Washington has a good enough roster and coaching staff and projects as a safe playoff bet again in 2025.”
