Commanders drop to 1-3 after loss to Colts in Week 4
Summary

The Washington Commanders fell to the Indianapolis Colts 30-13 in Week 4 in London. The Commanders aimed to even their record at 2-2 but struggled after quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a knee injury late in the fourth quarter. Rookie Athan Kaliakmanis took over but faced challenges, including a limited playbook and missing key offensive players. While Washington's defense showed moments of strength, allowing 30 points once again undermined their efforts. They now prepare to face the New York Giants next week, with critical division implications.
