That isn&#8217;t a typo &#8211; it really does say FIVE.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, the Commanders first score of the game was a Kendall Fuller pick six on Houston&#8217;s opening drive. Fuller jumped the route and took it 37-yards to pay dirt &#8211; his first career touchdown interception return.<\/p>\n<p>Washington also picked off Davis Mills a second time in the fourth quarter, when\u00a0safety Darrick Forrest snagged a ball that\u00a0cornerback Benjamin St-Juste had tipped.<\/p>\n<p>That was the Commanders&#8217; sixth takeaway in the past two games, after managing just one in their first five games.<\/p>\n<h2>Lining Up<\/h2>\n<p>The defense was again anchored by a terrific performance from the defensive line. They had five sacks and had Mills running for his life for much of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Allen and\u00a0Montez Sweat both had two sacks apiece, while Daron Payne added another. All three of them wreaked havoc on their match-ups.<\/p>\n<p>Allen added three tackles for loss, as well as four quarterbacks hits as well. Forget the Pro Bowl, he&#8217;s making a very strong case for First Team All Pro. There&#8217;s no way any defensive tackle in the NFL is playing better week in and week out than Allen is.<\/p>\n<p>And ironically, Payne is probably the closest contestant.<\/p>\n<p>Casey Toohill also had a solid game.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington defense posted nine quarterback hits AND nine tackles for loss. Stellar.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Mentionables<\/h2>\n<p>Welcome to the 2022 season Logan Thomas. He led all Washington pass catchers with 65 yards on 5 catches. It was by far his best game of the season. If he can stay healthy and play like he did on Sunday, he can give Heinicke even more offensive weaponry to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson Jr. continue to provide a very workman-like one-two punch. The Commanders managed 153 yards on the ground, with Gibson leading the way with 72 yards on 18 carries. Robinson wasn&#8217;t far behind with 57 yards on 15 carries. Gibson also tacked on another 31 yards on three receptions out of the backfield.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis Samuel chipped in 18 rushing yards as well on two carries. He also had 10 yards receiving.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusions<\/h2>\n<p>It was <em>only<\/em> the Houston Texans. They were 1-7-1 going into the game and look poised to snag the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>But so what? This is the exact type of game that Washington teams always seem to blow. And they didn&#8217;t. Not even close. As a matter of fact, the game never looked or felt like Washington was in any danger of doing anything but what they did &#8211; put a sound beating on an inferior team.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t make the Commanders Super Bowl contenders at all, but it does show they aren&#8217;t the bottom of the barrel that they perhaps appeared to be early on in the season.<\/p>\n<p>If they continue to improve and believe in themselves, they could very well find themselves earning a second 2022 season &#8211; a post season.<\/p>\n<p>Hail!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It would have been easy to let their foot off the gas after their huge win over the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.
