The Washington Commanders might be on a seven-game losing run, but there were legitimate signs of life during their overtime defeat against the Denver Broncos last time out. And as this depleted roster gets healthier, fans are hoping for a strong finish to the campaign before attention turns to what should be another eventful offseason.
Dan Quinn knows his squad raised the bar on Sunday Night Football. The challenge now is maintaining, or perhaps even exceeding, these standards. That starts with beating the Minnesota Vikings, who are talented yet failing to meet the lofty expectations set in 2024.
That's similar to the Commanders, albeit with fewer injury problems attached. Nothing is guaranteed, but of all the remaining contests for Washington this season, this looks like one of the most winnable.

Jayden Daniels prop bets
Things looked bleak for Jayden Daniels after he suffered a dislocated elbow against the Seattle Seahawks. But just a few short weeks later, the Commanders have their franchise player healthy and into the starting lineup once again.
Daniels' return has been a divisive debate, but he was never going to sit out the remaining five games. Now, the task will be to put the strategy in place to minimize risk against a Minnesota defense that generates pressure almost at will.
FanDuel Sportsbook has set Daniels' over/under for passing yards at 214.5, which is available at -112 in both directions (bet $112 to win $100). He is projected to complete around 18.5 passes from 28.5 attempts. The former LSU star's over/under for passing touchdowns is 1.5.
- Over 1.5 passing touchdowns: +120 (bet $100 to win $120)
- Under 1.5 passing touchdowns: -154 (bet $154 to win $100)
