ASHBURN, Va. — The version of the Washington Commanders we saw on Sunday in their 21-6 win over the New York Giants was different than what we’d seen before. Fitting, considering head coach Dan Quinn has stated several times in different ways that this year’s team is not, in fact, last year’s.
While some of the names and faces are familiar, there are plenty of new ones, and on Sunday , those newcomers contributed greatly to helping some of the familiar ones secure a dominant Commanders win. So dominant in fact, that despite some inconsistencies of their own, the margin of victory was bigger in this game than either of the wins over the Giants in 2024.
