The Washington Commanders will be getting ready for their Cincinnati Bengals matchup a little different this week since the game will be part of a Monday Night Football doubleheader.
But even though the Commanders play a day later, not much will change from coach Dan Quinn’s process.
Daniels hopes to find the early success Burrow had in the NFL. It took Burrow just two years to make it to the Super Bowl.
While it may be a challenge for Daniels to get that far in such a quick amount of time, the Commanders are taking it one game at a time, and they’ll put their entire focus in the Bengals going into the next few days.
After picking up the first victory of Dan Quinn’s head coaching tenure and ending their nine-game losing run dating back to last season, things are looking up for the Washington Commanders. However, the challenges are just beginning for this new-look group.
Quinn is about to navigate a stretch of games that could be the toughest of the campaign when it’s all said and done. This all starts with a tricky-looking road contest against the Cincinnati Bengals, who come into the game at 0-2 after losing to the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs.
This doesn’t detract from what a stern test awaits Washington on Monday Night Football. The Bengals always seem to start slowly under head coach Zac Taylor. They have difference-makers all over the field and are also getting wide receiver Tee Higgins back in some capacity, which will help franchise quarterback Joe Burrow enormously.
Washington’s early measuring stick has arrived, and the national spotlight is shining light on this exciting new regime for good measure. With that being said, here are five bold predictions for the Commanders in Week 3 at Paycor Stadium.
