However, this is where a playoff team can prove themselves.The Commanders will have an opportunity to do such in Week 12 as they host the Dallas Cowboys, another NFC East rivalry. It's worth noting that first-year Washington head coach Dan Quinn formerly coached in Dallas.

After Quinn was hired, Washington signed in free agency Cowboys defensive end Dorance Armstrong, center Tyler Biadasz, receiver Noah Brown, and hired assistant coach Joe Whitt Jr. The Cowboys desperately could use a player like Armstrong, and Brown, a player they elected not to re-sign after the 2022 season.
