3 winners (and 4 losers) from Commanders' defeat at the Ravens in Week 6

It wasn't a complete disaster for the Washington Commanders in their Week 6 loss at the Baltimore Ravens. They tried valiantly and fought right until the end before coming up short. Their complications came on the defensive side of things, with Joe Whitt Jr.'s unit failing to counteract the supreme gifts that Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and Zay Flowers brought to the table.

This was a steep learning curve for the Commanders. Dan Quinn will know much more about his squad after this one. The head coach didn't want to see it as a measuring stick, but they are a long way off entering the Super Bowl discussion despite an outstanding start to the campaign.

The Commanders need a complete effort from everyone if they're going to compete with teams like the Ravens. One phase of underperformance is all it takes to make things tough versus the elite. However, it's also worth remembering what a juggernaut Quinn's men were facing and this is just the first season of an extensive rebuild from top to bottom.

With this in mind, here are three winners and four losers from Washington's defeat in Week 6 at M&T Bank Stadium.

Winners and losers from Commanders' defeat at the Ravens

Loser No. 1

Jeremy Chinn - Commanders S

The Washington Commanders were expecting big things from Jeremy Chinn in this one. They needed the safety to come down closer to the line of scrimmage and assist against the Baltimore Ravens' fearsome rushing attack. They also tasked the former second-round selection with coverage support on the backend when the situation dictated. His good form over the last few weeks left reasons for encouragement.

Chinn didn't perform well. He wasn't alone in that regard, especially in the secondary, but the Commanders were counting heavily on the instinctive defender to get around the football and make plays. That didn't happen with nearly enough frequency despite gaining eight tackles throughout the contest.

The player's deficiencies in coverage were a concern upon joining the Commanders. It was a disappointment, but Washington isn't going to see many offenses like this the rest of the way. That makes Chinn a prime bounce-back candidate in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, his former team.
