Commanders are 4-7 following yet another embarrassing defeat. Not that it’s getting any simpler with the Cowboys up next.
The Washington Commanders lost badly again, turning the ball over six times and allowing up eight plays that were longer than 20 yards.

It’s extremely tough because this one hurts a lot,” second-year wide receiver Jahan Dotson said Sunday following the 31-19 loss to the New York Giants. “You never know where you could be at the end of the season, but hurting ourselves like this against teams that I feel like we should be beat is tough.”
The Commanders have dropped the past three games they’ve been favored to win: twice to the Giants, who are in last place in the NFC East, and once at home to the Bears. They’re 10 1/2-point underdogs on FanDuel Sportsbook for the Cowboys’ annual Thanksgiving Day home game.
Veteran tight end Logan Thomas, who had one of Washington’s three fumbles lost in the latest loss to the Giants, said it was nice to move on quickly. But that’s the only positive.
“Nobody’s body is ready to go on Thursday,” Thomas said. “Everybody’s hurting. Dallas is gonna be sore, too, so there’s no pity from anybody.”
The Commanders sacked Tommy DeVito nine times, one shy of the franchise record. Five sacks were the most in a first quarter in franchise history.
