In a season with an odd number of games, the Washington Commanders managed to finish with a .500 record. Ron Rivera's third year in charge ends with an 8-8-1 after a 26-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys in rookie quarterback Sam Howell's NFL debut.

The Take Command podcast with Craig Hoffman and former NFL tight end Logan Paulsen breaks down Howell's play, the surprises from Sunday, the play calling from offensive coordinator Scott Turner, the effort, what the future holds for the team, and much more.
