Over the last two weeks, you've probably heard the narrative that the Washington Commanders are playing with house money. People believe the Commanders, who won just four games last season, are just happy to be here in the first year of a "recalibration.

At the top of a very steep ramp leading to the Commanders’ locker room–after playing one hell of a Divisional Round Playoff game–Daniels stood and waited for his teammates. And not just any teammates.
