Commanders fans recall five worst blown leads in franchise history

With the Washington Nationals recently suffering a devastating loss after holding a 9-1 lead, the Washington Commanders' history of blown leads has come under scrutiny. Notable games include a 1979 loss to the Cowboys where a late lead evaporated, and a 1989 game against the Eagles featuring multiple 20-point leads. The team also surrendered a commanding position in the 1999 season opener against Dallas, eventually losing in overtime. Other significant collapses occurred in 1983 to the Cowboys and in a 2019 opener against the Eagles. Fans are encouraged to reflect on these painful memories as the team continues its journey in the NFL.
