The Washington Commanders are atop the NFC East after four games!
Washington has won three straight games.
Tress Way has punted once in those three games.
Might the Commanders now be the difficult game on the opponent’s schedule?
Washington scored 40 points for the first time since Thanksgiving 2020 when they routed the Cowboys 41-16.
This road win was the first double-digit win since the meaningless season finale in 2022 when they beat the Cowboys 26-6.
The Commanders ran the ball 37 times for a whopping 216 yards, averaging 5.8 yards per rushing attempt.
The Commanders won the time of possession of the football with 33:22 and the Cardinals only 26:38.
Jeremy McNichols came into the game with one career touchdown. He scored two touchdowns just today, including a 27-yard run.
Jeremy McNichols stays in bounds for the 27-yard TD!

The Commanders’ defense, which came into the game with the worst third-down defense by far, recorded four sacks of the very mobile Kyler Murray!
Can you believe Jayden Daniels? Today, Daniels did it again, completing 26 of his 30 attempts for 233 yards, one touchdown pass and one interception.
Washington scoring 42 points was the most for this franchise since “You know who” (Al Galdi) was quarterbacking the team up and down the field in a Sunday Night win over the Green Bay Packers.
