Here's where the Washington Commanders stand in a multitude of power rankings around the NFL as we enter Week 9.

The Seattle Seahawks enjoyed their Week 8 bye, having moved into first place in the NFC West division. They'll return to action versus the Washington Commanders in primetime on Sunday Night Football in Week 9. Mike Macdonald's Seahawks will possess quite the rest advantage when they next take the field.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn lamented his team's inability to capitalize on early Chiefs turnovers in Monday night's 28-7 and the team can't afford to miss too many more opportunities if they want to make it back to the playoffs this season.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders released their list of inactive players before their Week 8 matchup on 'Monday Night Football'. Kansas City continued its winning ways last week over the Las Vegas Raiders. Washington lost recently on the road to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7.

Taylor Swift made another quiet Arrowhead appearance to cheer on Travis Kelce, attending every Chiefs home game this season so far.

The Seahawks are one of the best two-way teams in the NFL right now. Mike MacDonald’s defense is ranked Top 10 in many advanced metrics and the offense is surprisingly very efficient, with QB Sam Darnold powering a potent passing attack.
