Washington Commanders: Crafting a Future of Sustainable Success

You can safely invest your emotions in this team that is building something real and sustainable.

Glendale, Ariz. “That’s what good teams do.” In less than two minutes of game time Sunday, the Washington Commanders unleashed an onslaught of superb, three-phase football that bled from the end of the second quarter into the start of the third. In the process, they turned a one-score contest into a blowout, refusing to relent until they could celebrate a 42-14 victory in the locker room.

The scene opened with a big play from a defense that had barely held up in the NFL through the first three weeks. With 34 seconds left in the first half, the Arizona Cardinals faced a fourth-and-1 from Washington’s own 35-yard line. A seven-yard throw by quarterback Dorance Armstrong to quarterback Kyler Murray, a beautiful 29-second run by rookie quarterback phenom Jayden Daniels, and a 45-yard field goal by running back Austin Seibert in the closing seconds gave the Commanders a 17-7 lead at the break. They then scored a touchdown with 68 seconds left to start the third quarter, after which Daniels patiently ran behind the offensive line with the Star Ball and sprinted into the end zone.

After the spurt, Washington led 24-7.
