Commanders fans are still reeling from a tough loss to the Chiefs, bringing their record to 3-5 as they approach the NFL season's midway point. The upcoming Sunday night matchup against the Seahawks has everyone buzzing, but a big question remains: why does the Commanders' offense almost always run plays out of the shotgun? Quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota prefer this formation for its advantages in using their athleticism and running run-pass options. While the shotgun limits some running plays, the pistol formation helps disguise plays and keeps the running back behind the quarterback for more effective downhill runs. Despite calls for change, the Commanders are unlikely to alter their formation strategy, focusing instead on maximizing their talent and keeping defenses guessing.
