Washington Commanders

The Washington Commanders are one win away from taking a trip to New Orleans, Louisiana, to play in the Super Bowl.

While looking ahead to such a game can be dangerous for the Commanders themselves, we're safe to do so.

When we look forward to potential matchups, three Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) All-NFL Team members could be waiting to face Washington in the big game.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones.

That is because three members of the All-NFL Team are from the Kansas City Chiefs' roster. Offensive linemen Creed Humphrey and Joe Thuney, and defensive tackle Chris Jones.

There's a saying in football that it is hard to be good when you're bad in the trenches and hard to be bad when you're good. For the Chiefs, who experienced a step back on offense this year, having two top-shelf players on the offensive line and one on the defensive line helped the team weather those issues and win 15 games in the regular season.

Unfortunately, no Commanders made the PFWA All-NFL Team.

Here's the full roster.
