X reacts to Commanders’ 20-19 win over the Saints

Commanders Saints Spencer Rattler Washington Jayden Daniels Chris Bryant Kliff Kingsbury Terry McLaurin

The Washington Commanders were in cruise control at halftime of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. The Commanders led 14-0 after quarterback Jayden Daniels passed for two touchdowns to wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

Things began to shift in New Orleans’ favor in the second half when it turned to rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler. While Rattler didn’t do anything special, a trick play touchdown pass from wide receiver Cedrick Wilson to running back Alvin Kamara completely shifted momentum toward the Saints.

Washington’s offense stalled in the second half, and the team often relied on Daniels to bail the unit out with a big pass or run on third down. Daniels sometimes did that, but the Commanders couldn’t get out of their own way. Penalties, curious coaching decisions, and special teams mishaps kept the Saints alive as they slowly chipped away.

Finally, the Saints drove down the field with under two minutes remaining, with a chance to tie the game. Well, the Saints scored a touchdown, but they weren’t interested in a tie. Interim coach Darren Rizzi went for the two-point conversion and the win. Fortunately for the Commanders, New Orleans came up short, and Washington prevailed, 20-19.

The Commanders are now 9-5, but X wasn’t happy with their latest performance. Here’s how social media reacted to Sunday’s game between Washington and New Orleans.

Chris is always positive:
