The Washington Commanders dropped a close 16-13 decision to the Miami Dolphins in their Week 11 matchup at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid. Washington’s defense has struggled throughout the season, allowing 28 points per game entering the contest.

Those issues surfaced again despite a strong effort that kept the game competitive until the final moments. Pro Bowl linebacker Bobby Wagner continued his consistent production in his 10th season. The veteran delivered another solid performance and reached a historic milestone despite the defeat.

“With that tackle, Bobby Wagner joined London Fletcher as the only two players in NFL history with 100 or more tackles in 14 consecutive seasons,” Nicki Jhabvala posted on X.

Washington held Miami to just six points in the first half, both coming from field goals. Wagner recorded three solo tackles during the opening two quarters as the teams entered halftime tied at six.

The score remained deadlocked at 13-13 through regulation before a Miami field goal decided the outcome. Wagner added one solo tackle and four assisted tackles in the second half.

He entered the game with 99 total tackles on the season and surpassed the 100-tackle mark with his performance in Madrid. The achievement extended a streak that now matches the record previously held by Fletcher alone.

Fletcher accumulated his 14 consecutive seasons from 2000 to 2013, with seven of those years coming in a Washington uniform. Wagner’s streak dates back to his rookie season in Seattle and spans 11 years with the Seattle Seahawks, one with the Los Angeles Rams, and now two with the Commanders.

At 35 years old, Wagner continues producing at a high level. He entered the Miami game with two sacks, six stuffs, one interception, and one pass breakup already recorded this season. His impact in Washington has been significant despite joining the organization just two years ago.
