Where are the Washington Commanders in the NFL power rankings after beating the Carolina Panthers?
The Washington Commanders got back to their winning ways this week after beating the Carolina Panthers 40-7 at NorthWest Stadium.
In the game, the Commanders were forced to sit Jayden Daniels after bruising his ribs, so they turned to veteran backup Marcus Mariota, who helped lead the team to victory. Despite the win, the Commanders didn't move up in Sports Illustrated writer Conor Orr's power rankings. The team stayed at No. 6, barely missing out on the top five.
"Here’s something neat: If you lower the bar to a 40-rep minimum, the two best quarterbacks in the NFL in terms of advanced statistics are Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota. Mariota has the benefit of whipping the Carolina Panthers, of course, but the bottom line is that Kliff Kingsbury is cooking right now.
