The Commanders fooled everyone in their loss to the Chiefs, after a tale of two halves for both sides of the ball
Commanders looked like a contender in the first half
The offense was clicking to start the game, and they drove right down the field, but unfortunately, Deebo Samuel deflected a catch right to a defender and ended a great opening drive with a turnover. The defense did the unthinkable and had two turnovers off of Patrick Mahomes in the first half, and finally found the endzone on a Terry McLaurin toe-tapping catch.
The defense had its best showing in the first half, while the offense didn't take advantage and add more points to reward their efforts. Going into halftime 7-7 against the Chiefs on the road is the best start you could possibly ask for, and it should've been a bigger lead for the Commanders. It did nothing for the second half, though, as we saw the ugly side of the team we've grown used to seeing over the last few weeks.
The second half showed that the Commanders need a lot of work
The Chiefs adjusted at halftime, and the Commanders didn't. They shot themselves in the foot as well, and that's not something you can do against Mahomes. Rookie Jaylin Lane missed a kickoff on the first drive of the second half that ended up going down at the two-yard line after the Chiefs scored to go up 14-7. The Commanders ended up punting five plays later and gave the ball right back to the Chiefs after having it for only two minutes.
That drive was a killer in the end, because the Chiefs scored again after that drive to go up 21-7. The Chiefs caught all the momentum in the second half, and they didn't look back. The defense went back to giving up huge plays, and players like Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice had easy touchdowns.
The truth about the Commanders is that they do have good players who are capable of making big plays, but they can't play four full quarters to beat a team like the Chiefs right now. I don't know how much Jayden Daniels would've helped tonight if he were playing, but seeing the defense go back to its old habits in the second half raises questions after seeing how they played in the first half. Seven points obviously will never be enough to win a game like that either. Both sides of the ball are at fault.
The season is slipping away from the Commanders, who have the Seattle Seahawks at home next Sunday night, and a lot more injuries are starting to pile up. There's only a small thread of hope left before we can call it a bad season, and look forward to the offseason.
