The 2023 season was a forgettable one for the Washington Commanders. After winning their first two games, the Commanders lost 13 of their final 15 to finish the year with a 4-13 record.
Head coach Ron Rivera was fired last month, and a new era of Washington football began. Owner Josh Harris hired Adam Peters as the new general manager and Dan Quinn as the head coach. Quinn put the finishing touches on an impressive coaching staff last week.
While it was an ugly season overall, there were some positive things. The most significant change for Washington came in July when Harris and his partners purchased the Commanders. Additionally, Washington came away with the No. 2 overall pick in the quarterback-rich 2024 NFL draft.
As far as what happened on the field: What were the top plays from last season? Quarterback Sam Howell was outstanding at times, leading Washington to a come-from-behind win over the Broncos in Week 2 and leading the Commanders to a game-tying touchdown in Week 4 to force overtime.
Unfortunately, Howell — and the rest of the team — struggled throughout the second half of the season.
Courtesy of Washington’s social media, here are the top 10 plays from the 2023 season.
