Commanders, Vikings both fell hard after last season’s success

The Minnesota Vikings won 14 games last season, the second most in franchise history. The Washington Commanders rode the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award winner, Jayden Daniels, all the way to the NFC championship game.

Joe Jacoby joined the Redskins as a rookie free agent in the summer of 1981. He started 13 games his rookie season, including eight at left tackle. He was the only starter among the Hogs for all four of their Super Bowl appearances from 1981 to 1991. He was a Hall of Fame finalist three times and earned first-team All-Pro honors twice as well as four Pro Bowl nominations. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) **FILE**

LOVERRO: Why isn’t Jacoby in the Hall of Fame?

There must be a reason -- not a good one -- but still a reason that one of the anchors of the most famous offensive line in the history of football doesn't have a bust in Canton. It can't be because he is not qualified. Joe Jacoby went to four Pro Bowls and, more importantly, was named a three-time first-team All-Pro and appeared in four Super Bowls, winning three of them.

As mistakes pile up, Commanders’ frustration begins to lead to changes

- Associated Press

Dan Quinn's defense was better than Joe Whitt Jr.'s has been. Otherwise, the Washington Commanders made the sorts of mistakes -- Marcus Mariota's overtime interception, Matt Gay's flubbed field-goal attempts, Mike Sainristil's dropped punt and so on -- that are contributing to a failure of a season.
