The Washington Commanders snapped their eight-game losing streak on Sunday, defeating the New York Giants 29-21. It was Washington’s first win since Week 5. With the win, the Commanders extend New York’s losing streak to eight games. The loss also strengthened the Giants’ grip on the No. 1 overall spot in the 2026 NFL draft order.
Heading into Sunday’s game, the Commanders were No. 6 in the draft order. How did Sunday’s win impact them?
Washington fell two spots to No. 8. The good news for the Commanders is that the New Orleans Saints also won. New Orleans, also 4-10, defeated the Carolina Panthers, keeping Washington within striking distance of moving back up with more losses.
Here’s the current top 10 of the 2026 NFL draft order after Week 15, with one more game left on the schedule, Monday night, when the Steelers face the Dolphins.
The Commanders have three games remaining, all of which they’ll be underdogs: two against the Philadelphia Eagles and one against the Dallas Cowboys. Two games separate No. 1 from No. 9, so expect a lot of movement over the next three weeks.
