Today’s wallpapers are to acknowledge three guys that really put it together against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. That allowed the Commanders to come away with a 28-22 victory, and a 1-0 record.

Jahan Dotson pulled down two touchdowns. No Washington receiver has ever done that in their debut.

Terry McLaurin? Well he was just doing Terry McLaurin things when he snatched a 49-yard touchdown. He only caught two balls but the 49-yarder was the game’s longest play.

June 22, 2025September 12, 2022 by Mark Solway

The Washington Commanders came out firing against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and rode a hot start to a 28-22 opening day victory. Washington scored on their first two possessions of the home game for the first time since 1991. That’s not a typo, they haven’t done it since George Herbert Walker Bush was President.

They also didn’t score on an opening drive last year, until Week 13.
