Washington looked like one of the NFL’s up-and-coming contenders during a breakout 2024 — but that didn’t materialize last season amid injuries, inconsistency by quarterback Jayden Daniels and one of the league’s worst defenses.

The season kicks off on Wednesday, September 9, with the New England Patriots facing the Seattle Seahawks in a Super Bowl LX rematch. Live coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. And visit NBC Sports for full NFL coverage.
