The Washington Commanders defeated the Houston Texans 23-10 Sunday to improve to 6-5 on the season. It was another outstanding defensive effort by the Commanders, who sacked Houston quarterback Davis Mills five times and intercepted him twice.
Washington’s defense was so good that the Commanders didn’t need a lot from their offense. Yet, Washington rolled up 246 yards of total offense in the first half. However, in the second half, quarterback Taylor Heinicke only attempted five passes.
Running backs Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson Jr. combined to rush for 129 yards, while tight end Logan Thomas had his best game of the season with five receptions.
