New England Patriots VS Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders wrapped up the preseason with a 20-10 win over the New England Patriots.
Five Moments of the Game
Henry blew through the Patriots' offensive line from the defensive left and took down Jacoby Brissett for a seven-yard loss.
2. Third downs were an issue for the defence.
Washington had two opportunities to get them off the field on third down with distances of eight and 14 yards.?
The unit was gashed on both plays, first with quarterback Drake Maye scrambling up the middle for 17 yards and DeMario Douglas escaping for 16 yards.
3. The running backs battled.
The competition for the Commanders' third running back position has been one of the more interesting battles throughout camp.?
The three players vying for that job -- Chris Rodriguez Jr., Michael Wiley and Jeremy McNichols -- all made strong cases Sunday night.
4. Trace McSorley gave the offense a spark.
The Commanders' offense struggled mightily in the first half, putting up just 111 yards and being forced to punt four times.
Then Trace McSorley got in the game, and he provided a much-needed jolt to the unit.
5. The last test was completed.
The Commanders ended the first preseason of the Dan Quinn era with a come-from-behind win, giving the team plenty to build on as they head into the regular season. But the final test has now been completed, which means tough decisions are on the horizon.
