Commanders are 3-5-1 with the Bengals up next

The Commanders are 3-5-1 and have won 2 of their last 5. They are on a 1-game winning streak. That has them 3rd in the NFC East, 2 games behind the Giants, and ESPN's standings list them as the No. 11 seed in the NFC right now, a wild-card spot.

Last time out, the Commanders edged the Giants 24-21 in Week 10, with Jayden Daniels going 23 of 33 for 249 yards, 3 TDs and 2 INTs.

Next up: the Bengals (6-2) come to Northwest Stadium, Mon, Nov 23 at 7:15 p.m. CT on ESPN.

The betting line is CIN -3.5 with a total of 51.5 (Draft Kings) and ESPN's matchup predictor gives the Commanders a 27 percent chance to win.

Stefon Diggs caught a 32-yard go-ahead touchdown with 57 seconds left, and Washington won 24-21 at the Giants to reach 3-5-1.

The season-ending injury list keeps growing. Daron Payne (foot), Javon Kinlaw (MCL surgery) and Terry McLaurin (patellar tendon) are all done for 2026.

Washington was in trade talks for Payne, but his practice injury ended them.

On the injury report: Athan Kaliakmanis (coach's decision), Colson Yankoff (knee), Isaac Yiadom (coach's decision), and Lucas Patrick (concussion) are listed out or on injured reserve.
