After the first missed FG attempt the energy was gone. Perhaps it was the big lead, but they got it together and got the win. I guess that's all that counts. That said, with 3:35 left on the clock the Commanders had 255 yards rushing and this;
Dan Quinn explaining why Phidarian Mathis was a healthy scratch. Practice squad DT Carl Davis has been winning the competition in practice and he was elevated today.

Quinn said Washington elevated Carl Davis and sat Phidarian Mathis in the name of internal competition.
My take on the game, we are a top 1/3 team. Washington has beat teams they are supposed to beat handily. That happened again today. Teams like Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philly and Tampa Bay not so much.
The one outlier is Dallas and if Seibert makes the extra point they have a shot in OT. Zimmer who has been mostly bad as a DC this year had a good game plan for attacking the strength of our OLine.
I am happy with what everyone has done this year from owner on down. I thought 7 wins this year with a shot at 8. They have been better than that. It is exciting to see what is to come the rest of this year and even more to see what they do to improve next year.
