Dan Quinn said what all Commanders fans were thinking about the bye week

The Washington Commanders didn't expect to be sitting at 3-8 during their bye week. Nobody did, but that's just the way things have unfolded for this luckless squad in 2025. One can point to the injuries that have held this team back, and that's a fair point. However, the reports of  were accurate. And it's going to be a long road back before the Commanders are ready to challenge again. Having such a late bye week can be a good or bad thing. For contending teams, as the Commanders were last season, it's a chance to refresh and refocus before business picks up. For those staring down the barrel of a lost campaign, like Washington this time around, it's an opportunity to reflect and improve. That was the message from Quinn. He acknowledged that everyone was a little deflated after what had been a torrid first 11 games. He's also not dwelling on the past, urging his players to return eager to work after their long-awaited break from the building. Sometimes a bye week comes when you need a break physically. Othe
