Magic Johnson praised Washington fans after Commanders’ win over the Falcons

When the Washington Commanders introduced new ownership in July, Magic Johnson made it clear he invested in the NFL franchise to win — not for ego.

At the end of every Commanders’ game, Johnson tweets his thoughts from the game. When Washington was embarrassed by the Bears on Thursday Night Football, Johnson, like fans, was none too pleased.

On Sunday, the Commanders snapped a three-game losing streak, defeating the Atlanta Falcons 24-16 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Johnson was watching and afterward gave a special shoutout to Washington fans who made the trip to Atlanta to support the Commanders.

While I don’t know the number of Washington fans in attendance, they always show up well in Atlanta. And on Sunday, that caught the eye of one of Washington’s ownership partners.
