The Washington Commanders offense came back to life in their 41-24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Washington’s start to the game began with a 69-yard kickoff return from Deebo Samuel. The Commanders scored on four of their first six possessions of the game, but the two non-scoring drives ended with a missed 37-yard field goal and a Marcus Mariota fumble at the Raiders’ 27-yard line. Washington potentially could have scored on every drive in the first half otherwise.

60 of the Commanders’ 174 first-half rushing yards came off the back of an outstanding Jeremy McNichols run after the Raiders tied the game at 10-10. Washington finished the day on the ground, averaging 6.3 yards per carry, rushing for 201 yards on 32 carries. In the passing game, the explosive plays continued. Terry McLaurin
