"After having some extended rest to reflect on a disappointing defeat with the national audience watching, the Washington Commanders finally got the chance to right this wrong against the Las Vegas Raiders. It was a mission they accomplished with minimal fuss. The Commanders ran out convincing winners, and they never looked in any real danger. Washington's injuries, which also included star quarterback Jayden Daniels, weren't felt. It was a complete team performance that renewed hope about what this squad might be capable of in 2025."
"Las Vegas wouldn't be classed as world beaters by any stretch of the imagination. But the ease with which head coach Dan Quinn's team dismantled the Raiders cannot be anything other than encouraging. There were almost no weak links, and they once again displayed the resolve that got them to the NFC Championship game last time around. Everything is right in the world again. The Commanders are 2-1 with some winnable games upcoming. Health remains the key, but things are looking up."
"Chris Paul got the nod. The 2022 seventh-round selection is one of the last remaining players drafted by Ron Rivera who are still on the team. He didn't feature much last season, but the Commanders credited the player for making some improvements this summer. With Coleman struggling to find the consistency needed, Washington made the switch. It paid off handsomely. Paul was nothing short of outstanding throughout."
Washington delivered a convincing victory over Las Vegas, dominating throughout and never appearing in serious danger. Several injuries, including to quarterback Jayden Daniels, had minimal impact as the team produced a complete performance that renewed belief in 2025 potential. Las Vegas did not offer elite resistance, and Washington’s cohesive play and resolve mirrored the qualities that reached the previous NFC Championship. The team improved to 2-1 with favorable upcoming matchups. Health remains the central variable for sustained success. A notable lineup change saw Brandon Coleman listed as a healthy scratch, with seventh-round pick Chris Paul inserted and praised for significant improvement and outstanding play.
