NFL fans are convinced the Washington Commanders are tanking.
On Sunday, the Commanders got crushed by the 4-9 Jets in the first half.
Early in the game, the Commanders had a punt blocked near their endzone.
Eventually, the Jets took a 17-0 lead when the Commanders refused to tackle Breece Hall for a long touchdown run.
Later in the second quarter, the Commanders bizarrely turned the ball when it slipped out of the punt returner’s hands.

Fans began calling for the NFL to investigate the Commanders for tanking after the Jets took a 20-0 lead before halftime.
INVESTIGATE THE COMMANDERS FOR TANKING @NFL
