The 2025 season was the Washington Commanders' 94th in the National Football League (NFL) and their second under the tandem of general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn.

Despite a 3–2 start, the Commanders subsequently went on a 8-game losing streak afterwards to fall to 3–10, as numerous injuries to key players (including quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin) and poor defensive play plagued the team. The Commanders failed to improve upon their 12–5 record from the previous season after a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8, ensured a worse record the following week with a loss to the Seattle Seahawks, and instead went 5–12. Their 3–10 was their worst start since 2019 when they were known as the Redskins. They were the first NFL team since the 2002 Arizona Cardinals to lose four consecutive games by 21 or more points. Washington was officially knocked out of playoff contention after a shutout loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14.

Overview

[edit]
Head coach Dan Quinn (forefront) and general manager Adam Peters speaking at the start of training camp

The front office saw the addition of former Campbell's CEO Mark Clouse as team president and the retirements of senior personnel executive Martin Mayhew and advisor Marty Hurney.[1][2][3] The coaching staff saw Brian Schneider replace John Glenn, who left to become the linebackers coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, as assistant special teams coordinator.[4][5]

In the offseason, the Commanders traded draft picks for Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel.[6][7] Notable free agents signed include defensive ends Deatrich Wise Jr. and Jacob Martin, outside linebacker Von Miller, defensive tackles Javon Kinlaw and Eddie Goldman, cornerback Jonathan Jones, safety Will Harris, and kicker Matt Gay.[8][9] In July, the Commanders revealed "Super Bowl Era" alternate uniforms resembling those of the franchise's former Super Bowl-winning teams.[10] The Commanders had five players listed in the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025, which was revealed during the lead up to the season. Included were Jayden Daniels (21), Terry McLaurin (52), Frankie Luvu (70), Bobby Wagner (74), and Laremy Tunsil (86).[a]

In a rematch of last season’s thrilling game, which ended with a walk-off Hail Mary by Washington, it was the Bears who delivered the final blow this time, upsetting Washington 25–24. The Bears controlled much of the first half, but the game tightened in the third quarter as both teams traded scores to change the lead. With just under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Washington held a 24–22 lead until a botched handoff between quarterback Daniels and Jeremy McNichols resulted in a fumble and turnover. The Bears capitalized on the mistake, and kicker Jake Moody sealed the win with a walk-off field goal on the ensuing drive. With the loss, Washington fell to 3–3.[20]

Dorance Armstrong, John Bates, and Mike Sainristil served as game captains.[21]
