- Commanders need better security on the back end. The Commanders made a trade-deadline deal to land CB Marshon Lattimore, but he missed Sunday’s loss and is out for Thursday’s game, still working his way back from a hamstring injury. Washington sure could use him. CBs Benjamin St.-Juste and Mike Sainristil figure to have their hands full with the Eagles’ duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, who remain two of the very best at what they do, even as Smith has had a few quiet games and Brown has been held out of the end zone for three straight contests. Top-tier receivers such as Ja'Marr Chase, Zay Flowers, Malik Nabers and Chris Godwin have had big games against the Commanders this season. Washington’s pass rush, led by Dante Fowler Jr.’s 8.5 sacks, has helped the defense keep nine of its 10 opponents under 253 pass yards. But Sunday’s loss to the Steelers featured several big-play breakdowns by the Commanders’ secondary.
