The Commanders hosted the Raiders on a beautiful late summer afternoon and came away with their most complete game in all three phases of their young season. After a disappointing performance the previous Thursday night at Lambeau, Dan Quinn’s squad came out clicking on all cylinders and took it to Las Vegas all game long. The Raiders did pick up some yards and points during garbage time, however this game was never in doubt from the opening kickoff.
Washington should get a better test next Sunday on the road against the Falcons, but for now, we’ll celebrate 2-1 and some really encouraging signs of growth from this football team.
Below are my Studs and Duds of the game, followed by some notes.
Studs • Marcus Mariota: Mariota did a great job filling in for the injured Jayden Daniels. H
