Terrible defense
Horrible injury luck
Brutal slate of opposing quarterbacks
Bad turnover luck
Too many drops
Diminishing rushing offense
I hate what this season has become.

The Washington Commanders‘ 2025 season continues to go off the rails after losing the Kansas City Chiefs 28-7 on Monday Night Football. Washington lost its third consecutive game, falling to 3-5, and appears to be staring 3-7 in the face with back-to-back meetings against the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions.
Marcus Mariota started at quarterback for the Commanders and played reasonably well. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a lot of help, including a running game that had only 62 yards. Washington’s defense was excellent in the first half, holding Patrick Mahomes to eight of 15 completions for 89 and two interceptions. As expected, Mahomes was vintage Mahomes in the second, completing 17 of 19 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns.
Washington’s offense, which has managed to score points all season despite injuries, was held to a season-low 7 points.
Commanders’ fans expected to lose, but were disappointed that Washington’s first-half defensive effort was wasted. We went to X after the game to see how fans and analysts reacted after the Commanders dropped their third game in a row.
Here are some of the top reactions:

Getting Mahomesed right now. Just too good.

10 things I think I think about the Commanders dropping a 28-7 game in Kansas City.
🏈 Mariota played fine. He’s good at read option and quick game and executed both effectively.
🏈 The pick that bounced off Deebo’s chest when WSH was in the red zone on their opening drive was…

Boy, 15 and 87. They are really good. Everybody in the world knows who’s gonna have the ball and who might get the ball and they’re still open.😤

Serious question: What do u do when you’re unit stinks in both types of fundamental coverage, doesn’t consistently get home or get pressure when it’s needed, doesn’t tackle well, gets very little help from other side, has a bunch of injuries & lacks top shelf talent? @team980

Don’t ever talk to me about how “old” McLaurin is or how “replaceable” he is.

Playing Kain, Owens, Holmes, Magee, & Sinnott is not tanking on the season because the players in front of them are becoming huge liabilities.
I’d rather lose with speed than with age. #RaiseHail

Stop the presses, Lattimore just made a play on the ball. Let’s celebrate

Wow… you don’t see many INTs on back shoulder throws, great job playing the ball by Lattimore to get the ball back for Commanders!

Jaylin Lane was born without hands. He’s still learning how to use them. Once he does he’s going to be a force in this league. https://t.co/hgC1fLL9BP
