Bill > HR816

This resolution commends the Washington Commanders for their remarkable 2024 National Football League (NFL) season, highlighting several key achievements. The team clinched their first playoff berth since 2020, finished the regular season with a 12-5 record (their best since 1991), and advanced to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1991. Under new leadership including general manager Adam Peters, head coach Dan Quinn, and owner Josh Harris, the team saw significant success, including drafting quarterback Jayden Daniels (who set a rookie quarterback rushing yards record and won Offensive Rookie of the Year), setting franchise records like Terry McLaurin's 13 touchdown catches, and ranking among the franchise's best offenses by scoring 485 total points. The resolution specifically praises the Commanders' playoff performance, which included defeating the Dallas Cowboys, winning the NFC Wild Card Playoffs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and upsetting the Detroit Lions in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. The resolution concludes by directing the House of Delegates' Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution to be presented to team representatives as an expression of admiration for their athletic achievements and good wishes for the 2025 season.
