On Sunday, the Washington Commanders ended their three-game losing streak by defeating the Tennessee Titans 42-19 at Northwest Stadium.
It was a dominant performance from start to finish, as Washington’s defense immediately shut down the Titans, setting the tone of quarterback Jayden Daniels and the offense.
On the Commanders’ first possession, running back Brian Robinson Jr. ran for a 40-yard touchdown, giving them an early 7-0 lead. After another stop, Daniels called his own number for a touchdown run. Then, Washington forced back-to-back turnovers, converting both into Terry McLaurin touchdowns, and it was suddenly 28-0.
While Tennessee had some moderate success moving the ball, the Commanders dominated, scoring over 40 points for the third time this season.
It’s been a rough few weeks for Washington fans, who feared a similar meltdown to the 1996 and 2008 seasons. While there are still four games to be played, the Commanders have something those previous teams didn’t: Jayden Daniels.
Let’s see how X — formerly Twitter — reacted to Washington’s Week 13 performance.
The #Commanders just put up 463 yards on a defense that averages giving up 276

It’s always the same things from the same people (Hi, Mike)
Have the Commanders figured things out, or are the Titans this bad?

Great response here
I hate it when people don’t say what they mean in a tweet but then later say oh, that’s not what I meant, I meant this. If that’s what you wanted to say then say it. The Titans D is pretty good so I’m excited they played well in the 1st half.
