The Commanders' Week 3 game against Buffalo is their alumni homecoming game. They'll be celebrating 175 Washington legends, spanning six decades (1960s on).

Asked Ron Rivera if long-snapping being a hot topic is quite the departure from recent years with very weighty topics:

"It's kind of a delight, to be honest with you. We have been able to focus on our players on the field."

No Daron Payne (ankle) or Logan Thomas (concussion) at Wednesday's practice. pic.twitter.com/dBhOfK3xEt

Daron Payne is not at practice. He came out briefly vs. Denver with what appeared to be a lower leg injury, but went back in.

DB Quan Martin (concussion) is back on the field but wearing a green, non-contact pinny. Or at least that’s how I think pinny is spelled. pic.twitter.com/p5my0kL4Md

If the Commanders beat the Bills on Sunday, Sam Howell will become the second Washington player in the Super Bowl era to win each of his first four starts in the NFL. Billy Kilmer did it in 1971.

Just to show you numbers don't tell the whole story....

We've scored 55 points in the first two games this year

We scored 55 points in the first two games last year

And yet this feels completely different

PS - we would score 47 points in the next 4 games last year#HTTC

No one has shared this yet, but in Madden 2024, there are Team of the Week (TOTW) players for Madden Ultimate Team (MUT).

Sam Howell was awarded a card, which is hard to achieve.

It indicates that he was one of the best players in the league last week. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/OJACOqVW3k

Such a joke. If 14 keeps on this trajectory won’t be long before he’s in that 12-16 range https://t.co/T9tEkx5O7a

With the House committee giving the OK to signing over RFK land, the biggest obstacle now will be the neighborhood itself - leaders have indicated in the past they want a park there, not development. Still a long way to go, but an encouraging first step today.

NEW: The RFK Stadium bill that would allow the use for the site as a stadium (among other uses) as part of a new 99-year lease for the land wins approval from the House Oversight Committee. Vote was 31-9 in favor of the bill.

New @FOS story to come. https://t.co/o3tVYk1jv0

In hours after debate on RFK amendment ended, @MayorBowser sent an email to members on the committee urging a no vote. “To be clear, the Perry Amendment, which would dictate how the District can spend our local dollars, is a clear attack on Home Rule.” https://t.co/wBf7G5tUgD pic.twitter.com/nzQqfmgMZd

I don't understand the argument that the RFK site is too small. It's 190 acres of land.

- Jerry's World covers 73 acres.
- Met Life in Meadowlands is 75.
- Allegiant in Las Vegas is 62.

There's plenty of room at the RFK site.

Jared Goff did his fake so well after handing the ball off that Darnell Taylor thought he had a huge sack. But he actually got one of the latest hits you'll ever see lol pic.twitter.com/ia5SgxjkJm

Imagine if you were hired by a company to do a job because your skills and abilities are better than most people in your industry.

Then, on the first day of work, they ask you to do your job in a way you're not comfortable doing, a way you've never done before and don't want to…

There's some BIG NEWS coming out of Chicago..

This is VERY alarming for the Bears #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/RJyQOKhBfE

The league is not involved in the Allan Williams situation, per sources. I’m told it was his decision to resign. This has repeatedly been categorized as a personal situation and was handled internally by the Chicago Bears.
