Commanders’ top offensive player grades for Week 17, per PFF

The Washington Commanders were eliminated from playoff contention after Sunday’s 24-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns. For Washington fans, it’s just another day — or year — at the office.

Why did the Commanders miss the playoffs?

Washington last won a game on November 27 to improve to 7-5, and a playoff berth seemed certain. However, over the last four games, with a late bye week in Week 14, the Commanders went 0-3-1.

An impotent offense has been the biggest culprit, leading head coach Ron Rivera to start Carson Wentz at quarterback against the Browns, and it couldn’t have gone any worse. Wentz threw three interceptions, including two in his first six attempts, and passed for only 143 yards in the loss.

Needless to say, Wentz was Pro Football Focus‘ lowest-graded offensive player for Washington.

Who was the highest-graded Commander on offense? Here are PFF’s top 10 offensive grades for Washington from Week 17.
