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.

- •Marcus Mariota injured his knee, leading to Athan Kaliakmanis taking over as quarterback.
