The 7-7-1 Commanders are sitting in the seventh and final NFC playoff spot, a half-game ahead of the Seahawks, Lions and Packers.
Taylor Heinicke’s short leash has been cut off.
Heinicke took over as starter when Wentz broke his finger in a Week 6 win over the Bears that improved Washington’s record to 2-4. Heinicke led the Commanders on a 6-1-1 stretch that put them in the middle of the NFC playoff picture. “Well, I just want to make sure I have an opportunity to speak to everybody before I make a decision,” Ron Rivera said earlier in the week of his quarterback thought process. “I want to make sure I’ve got all the thoughts and ideas and concepts. Again, at the end of the day, the decision’s going to be made based on what I believe is best for us going forward, gives us the best opportunity right now. That’s what this is really about.
