The Washington Commanders faced the Indianapolis Colts in London on October 4, 2026, losing 30-13. Starting quarterback Marcus Mariota left the game early due to injury, thrusting rookie Athan Kaliakmanis into action. The Commanders' offense struggled to convert opportunities, settling for field goals while the defense allowed Colts' running backs, including Jonathan Taylor, to excel. Despite standout defensive plays from players like Odafe Oweh and Daron Payne, the Commanders were unable to maintain momentum after their previous week's upset. The team seeks to regroup ahead of their next game against the Giants.
