Washington's defense faltered in Week 4 at Atlanta, yielding 34 points and 435 yards as injuries limited the offense. Atlanta leaned on its first‑round core—Bijan Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts—while Washington’s secondary was exposed and struggles in coverage lingered. Jeremy Reaves stressed accountability and film study as the unit tries to rebound, with Week 5 bringing a showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers on the West Coast, testing whether tighter communication and exotic looks can slow opponents.
