The Commanders are back over .500 after clinching victory over the Chargers on the road for the first time since 1986. Running back Bill Croskey-Merritt, safety Quan Martin and cornerback Mike Sainristil produced impact performances in the 27-10 win at SoFi Stadium.

The rookie rising star continued his head-turning ways in Week 5 as a go-to weapon on offense for the Commanders. Washington had put itself in a hole to start the contest at SoFi and was in prime position to put up some much-needed points with about four minutes to go in the half. On second-and-1 in the red zone, Croskey-Merritt picked up the ball from Daniels' and ran untouched for the score.
