NFL Power Rankings Week 9: Commanders don’t look like a playoff team

Key Points:

• The Washington Commanders secured their first win of the season in Week 3 by upsetting the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks 33-31, led by backup quarterback Marcus Mariota who threw three touchdowns and sealed the game with a crucial first-down run.
• Linebacker Kain Medrano contributed significantly with a pick-six, and the Commanders' defense forced three turnovers, providing key momentum despite being outgained 437-258 and allowing 31 points.
• Starting QB Jayden Daniels, currently sidelined with a dislocated elbow, is expected to return soon, potentially traveling for the Week 4 game against the Colts, giving the team hope for continued improvement.
• The victory snapped a six-game home losing streak for Washington and offered a much-needed boost to a team that started the season 0-2, though questions remain about their running game and overall consistency.
• Wide receiver Stefon Diggs has emerged as a fantasy surprise and offensive leader for the Commanders, leading in receptions and touchdowns despite adjusting to new quarterbacks and a new team.
