Commanders’ Slide Deepens With 28-7 Loss to Chiefs as Daniels Nears Practice Return

Missed chances plus Terry McLaurin’s re‑aggravated quad underscore growing concern about sustaining last year’s standard.

Overview

  • Washington fell to 3-5 with a third straight defeat after Kansas City pulled away in the second half of Monday Night Football.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn said Jayden Daniels had a good rehab session and is expected to practice Wednesday, though his Week 9 availability remains uncertain.
  • Terry McLaurin scored on a toe‑tap catch in his return but exited after re‑aggravating his quad and did not finish the game.
  • The Commanders forced two early Patrick Mahomes interceptions but came away with no points, failed a fourth‑and‑1, and later saw Marcus Mariota finish with two picks as the offense stalled.
  • The Chiefs outgained Washington 432-260 and went perfect in red zone, goal‑to‑go and fourth‑down situations, prompting Quinn and Zach Ertz to lament missed opportunities and inconsistent execution ahead of hosting Seattle on Sunday night.
