The Washington Commanders<\/a> were officially eliminated from playoff contention, and Sunday’s 31-0 shutout loss to Minnesota only made a bad year worse. A season that began with real hope after last year’s NFC Championship run has turned into a nightmare of injuries, blow leads, poor defense, and an offense that can’t stay on the field. Zach Ertz, now feared to have suffered a torn ACL is just the latest blow in a campaign that has seen the injury report grow longer every week. <\/p>

Zach Ertz Suffered Devastating Knee Injury Against the Vikings<\/h2>

With 2:10 left in the third quarter, Ertz reached for a pass and took a low hit from Vikings safety Jay Ward, which many fans are calling it a dirty play from the safety. His right leg buckled awkwardly, and he immediately went down. He couldn’t put any weight on it, needed help off the field, and was soon carted to the locker room with a towel over his head. <\/p>
