The Washington Commanders simply had no offensive consistency as they lost 20-13 to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at Northwest Stadium.
Here are some quick facts from the Commanders’ fifth loss of the 2026 season.
Why did the Commanders on the Rams' 31 not throw the ball into the end zone on the game’s final play?
The Commanders defense had no answer for Rams WR Puka Nacua (14 receptions 150 yards 1 TD).
The Commanders offense scored the first two times they had the ball, and the only time they scored again was because of the Nick Cross interception at the Rams’ 27. That time they again produced nothing, settling for a Drew Stevens 41-yard field goal.
The Commanders offense was 3-12 on 3rd downs; the Rams were 3-14! But the Rams were 3-3 on 4th downs.
Rams DL Myles Garrett owned the Commanders Sunday: three quarterback sacks and a forced fumble.
WR Van Jefferson, elevated from the practice squad, had 5 catches for 58 yards.
LB Frankie Luvu had his best game with 15 total tackles (7 solo) a QB sack and 2 TFL.
Without receivers Terry McLaurin, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown, the Commanders answered with 13 personnel (three tight ends) to move the ball and score on their first two possessions. Other than that? No offense.
