The Washington Commanders had a much-deserved bye week in Week 14. Washington entered its bye week with a 7-5-1 record and a half-game out of the NFC’s final wild-card spots.
The week off couldn’t have gone any better for the Commanders. The two teams ahead of Washington for the final two NFC playoff spots — the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks — both lost. The Seahawks lost to the Carolina Panthers at home, while the Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Giants.
