The Washington Commanders faced a challenging start to their season as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels struggled against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, losing 37-20. The defense, undergoing significant changes, allowed the Buccaneers to gain 392 yards and score 37 points, raising concerns about communication and performance. Coach Dan Quinn emphasized improvement is essential as the team prepares for the New York Giants.

Despite the loss, Daniels showed promise with 184 passing yards and two rushing touchdowns. However, the team has already moved on from kicker Cade York after his missed attempts, signing Austin Seibert as a replacement. The Commanders are looking to bounce back and maintain their home-field advantage.
