In Week 15 of the NFL season, the New Orleans Saints will face off against the Washington Commanders at the Caesars Superdome. Despite being early favorites to win, the Commanders are a difficult team to project in 2024 due to significant changes from the previous season. Under new head coach Dan Quinn and quarterback Jayden Daniels, Washington has made several key acquisitions in free agency and the draft, making it challenging to assess their potential this season.
The Commanders have added players such as Bobby Wagner, Frankie Luvu, Tyler Biadasz, Austin Ekeler, Dorance Armstrong Jr., Johnny Newton, Mike Sainristil and Ben Sinnott to their roster. With so many new pieces coming together, Washington could either benefit from their talent and schedule, winning 10 games or struggle to find chemistry and show only modest improvements.
Although the Saints have won three consecutive games against Washington in recent years, the Commanders still hold the all-time series lead with a record of 17-11. The last meeting between the two teams in 2021 resulted in a 33-22 victory for the Saints on the road. However, memorable matchups like a comeback win in 2017 and a blowout victory in 2018 have added to the intensity of this rivalry.
As the Saints prepare to face the Commanders at home, fans can anticipate an exciting game with potential for both teams to showcase their strengths and weaknesses. The outcome of this highly anticipated matchup is difficult to predict but both teams are eager to secure a crucial victory in Week 15 of the NFL season.
