The Minnesota Vikings (5-8) blanked the Washington Commanders (3-11) 31-0 on Sunday, giving them their eighth straight loss and ending their playoff hopes for the 2025 season. Washington entered Week 14 with optimism, hoping to build on their performance against the AFC West–leading Denver Broncos in Week 13, even though they lost 27-26 .

“What I told the team was I thought we took a step forward last week, and tonight, I thought we took three steps back,” Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said after Sunday’s loss .

“Tonight, to me, none of it was acceptable. Four division games in our season, and it is an absolute must that we recapture that forward progress that I saw in the last week because we absolutely did not have that tonight in all three phases all the way through.”
