Commanders Offensive ‘Triplets’ Disrespected in Latest Ranking

The Washington Commanders surprised many people this past season, and it was due in no small part to the unexpected spark that their offense was able to provide the team.

In a recent article by SI, he ranks every NFL team's top offensive trio. He goes by the quarterback, the running back, and the team's best receiver, whether that be a wideout or a tight end. The Commanders might feel a bit disrespected, as thet have their “triplets” outside of the top 10 at No. 12.

"If the Commanders had a better run game, they would be very high on the list," the site wrote. "Washington saw Daniels become a revelation as a rookie, totaling 3,568 passing yards and 25 touchdowns, while running for another 891 yards and six scores. McLaurin is also one of the league’s top receivers, catching 82 passes for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns, as the Commanders reached the NFC title game."

Jayden Daniels, Brian Robinson Jr., and Terry McLaurin were the key players for the Commanders in 2024, and they all played their parts exactly like the team needed them to.

Daniels had one of the best rookie seasons by a quarterback ever, as he became the sixth field general to make it to the conference championship in their first year. As for McLaurin, he had one of, if not the best season of his career with Daniels throwing him the ball.

Robinson might have been the weakest of the three players, but he still had just under 800 yards and eight touchdowns despite missing three games. So saying the team would be much higher on the list with a better run game is something that Robinson could take to heart.

There Commanders are one of the teams in the league with the brightest futures, and their offensive core will be looking to help lead the team in 2025.
