Defense?
Give credit to the defense. Even though the Commanders were down their top two pass catchers, they only gave up 22 points.
On the first drive of the second half, they made the biggest play of the game when it was still within reach. They forced a fumble on Jayden Daniels, setting the offense up in perfect position.
After Dak connected with Jake Ferguson on a five-yard touchdown, the defense followed it up with a DaRon Bland pick-6, that broke the game open 41-15.
You know how the rest of these games go, Washington got a couple garbage scores to make the score look better than it was, but what we saw today from the defense was good.
If they can at least be AVERAGE for the rest of the season with this offense, they can make the playoffs. We saw more man coverage and blitz, this is exactly what everyone has been asking for and look what happened!
Yes, they did not have Terry or Deebo, and Jayden got hurt, but this team was eating him up before he got hurt, so I do not care.
This team now sits in full control of second place in the NFC East, trailing only the Eagles, and yes, they did lose to them, but the Eagles have the same record against the division because they lost to the Giants last week.
People wondered how it would look when CeeDee Lamb came back, and it looks even better with him and George Pickens. Both of them had awesome games and this offense is the best in football.
Dak Prescott continues the best start to his career. He ended the game 21-for-30, 264 yards and three touchdowns.
In the last four games, Prescott has 13 touchdowns and 0 interceptions.
