The Washington Commanders' defense has gotten off to another slow start to start the 2023 NFL season. There was a decent game against Arizona and a solid second half against Denver, but overall it has not been good enough from Jack Del Rio's unt.
After losses in which they allowed 40, 37 and 34 (and 33 in a win) in consecutive weeks, Craig Hoffman asks: Did we overrate the defensive talent on the Commanders roster?
