Washington Commanders outside linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson told Bleacher Report that the team has not given up on a Super Bowl LXI bid despite a 1‑3‑1 record early in the 2026 season.

"I think the full belief is there," Chaisson said, adding that the squad is taking each week one at a time and will do "whatever it takes to get there." He noted the odd "13‑3‑1" record as a potential Super Bowl‑winning mark, then dismissed the odds with profanity before reaffirming confidence.

The Commanders sit last in the NFC East behind the New York Giants (3‑1‑1), Philadelphia Eagles (2‑3‑0) and Dallas Cowboys (2‑3‑0). After quarterback Jayden Daniels returned from an elbow injury, the team settled for a tie with the Giants, missing a chance for an overtime field goal. Chaisson said the team hopes to start a 12‑game win streak against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers in Week 6, with kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET in Santa Clara.
