Commanders hope to improve defense during bye week

The Washington Commanders enter their bye week with ongoing concerns about their defense. Having allowed at least 23 points in every game so far this season, the team ranks near the bottom in both total and scoring defense. Injuries have affected key players, but the return of Nick Cross and Trey Amos brings a glimmer of hope. As the team assesses its defensive approach under Daronte Jones, improvements will be critical to avoid further setbacks in the upcoming games.
