Washington Commanders fans now have a good idea of what Marshon Lattimore is. One week, you're going to get an accomplished performance that reminds people why he was considered one of the league's most prolific shutdown cornerbacks once upon a time.

There is a story here, if you're inclined to tell it, about inconsistency. There's a story about a franchise that can never get it together for very long, and about how that inconsistency has become a hallmark of a franchise that has seven straight playoff-less seasons under its belt and is unnervingly on track for an eighth. I'm inclined to tell it.
Jansen emphasized the need for NYCFC to overcome their inconsistency, stating, "we have to get rid of this inconsistent behavior, and it's been a topic throughout the season."
