Capitals’ season preview: Lighting the lamp on a new season – WTOP News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Washington Capitals suffered a rare silent spring this past April, when they missed the playoffs for just the third time since 2007. Their 95 points may have been three shy of taking the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, but they were better than four teams in the West while matching Pacific Division winner (and Stanley Cup runner-up) Vegas. “I truly believe in our room,” right-winger and alternate captain Tom Wilson said. “There were some bad bounces, some guys got hurt, but I thi
Nationals Notebook: September surge ends steppingstone season – WTOP News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Washington Nationals wrapped up the 2026 season by taking two of three games against the New York Mets to stay out of last place in the NL East. The 77-85 record is their best since 2019 and they wrapped up September by winning 10 of their last 14 games. The first year of Paul Toboni, president of baseball operations, and manager Blake Butera may be ending, but it feels like something is starting. The lineup led the majors in runs for a sizable portion of the year and finished third (after r
Four Downs with the Commanders: Daniels down, defense deficient in Dallas defeat – WTOP News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Washington’s 37-20 loss to Dallas drops the Commanders to 0-2 for the first time since 2019, and the defense looked much closer to the 2025 edition that allowed the most yards per game. Eight times the Cowboys had the football, and they were able to get points on seven of their possessions, including all four after halftime. So, while the dislocated elbow that ended Jayden Daniels’ day definitely torpedoed the Commanders’ hopes, even a healthy JD5 would have been hard pressed to keep the Burgund
Four Downs with the Commanders: Week 1 showing wasn’t a weak one – WTOP News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Washington Commanders’ 24-22 loss to Philadelphia in Week 1 gave fans plenty of optimism and anguish, from seeing the offense wake up in the second half (12-18 passing for 121 yards and two touchdowns after intermission) to the defense coughing up big plays in key moments (check out our third down dissection). Week 1 also means fans go overboard in both directions, as this is the only sample size they have on this year’s team. Next week will be a referendum on every takeaway from the loss at
Nationals Notebook: Despite the sweep, the playoff hopes are officially extinguished – WTOP News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Washington Nationals swept the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend, rallying to win three one-run games and move out of last place in the NL East. But Sunday night San Diego beat San Francisco to officially eliminate the Nats from playoff contention. The die was cast after a disastrous 0-6 road trip that preceded the series against the Angels. While the eight game trip in July and August to Atlanta and Philadelphia broke the 2026 Nats, the one against the Dodgers and Padres effectively burie
