Magic Johnson voiced his anger at his new team's poor result on Thursday Night Football.
After a season that began with a lot of hope for fans of the Washington Commanders - in the form of new management - reality has come crashing back down on the fans at FedEx Field.
The Commanders were blown out of their own building on Thursday by the Chicago Bears - who had not won a game since 2022 - by a score of 40-20.
Johnson, who bought into the team as a part-owner, took to Twitter to rail against Washington's awful showing.
'Tonight the Commanders played with no intensity or fire,' the Basketball Hall-of-Famer said.

Washington lost at home to the lowly Chicago Bears, falling into a deep hole early on
After starting the season 2-0, Commanders fans have watched their team lose three straight
'We didn’t compete in the first half and got down 27-3 heading into halftime. It was too big of a hole to climb out of and that is why we ended up losing 40-20.'
After starting the season 2-0 with wins over the Arizona Cardinals and the Denver Broncos, the Commanders have lost three straight.
While a 37-3 blowout by the Bills is excusable and a 34-31 loss to the Eagles is a heartbreaker, but understandable, getting blown out by the worst team in the league is a stumbling block.
They'll look to take back the reins on their season next week, when they travel to the Atlanta Falcons.
