Commanders among best in NFL

"After a stunning run to the NFC Championship Game last year, the enthusiasm and pressure in the nation’s capital have both ratcheted up exponentially. In 2025, Washington has something it hasn't had in some time," Davenport wrote.

"Expectations.

"The Commanders have been aggressive this offseason, making a pair of trades for accomplished veterans in wide receiver Deebo Samuel and offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. The team added another potential starter on the offensive line in Round 1 of the 2025 draft in Oregon tackle Josh Conerly Jr."

The only teams that ranked higher than the Commanders were the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs and Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
