After the Washington defense quickly forced a New Orleans punt on the game’s first possession, Jayden Daniels and the offense began with excellent field position.
The Commanders had no problem moving the ball down the field but stalled just short of the red zone. New kicker Greg Joseph then made a 45-yard field goal to give Washington an early 3-0 lead.
However, the Saints were penalized, giving the Commanders a first down and wiping the points off the board. A few plays later, Daniels found Olamide Zaccheaus for a touchdown, but it was also wiped off the scoreboard due to an illegal shift penalty.
After yet another penalty, this time a holding call on right guard Sam Cosmi, the Commanders faced a second and goal from the 16-yard line. Under heavy pressure, Daniels escapes multiple sack attempts and somehow finds wide receiver Terry McLaurin in the end zone for a touchdown.
