The Washington Commanders kicked off the 2022 season with a 28-22 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday from FedEx Field.
Washington’s offense started fast, as quarterback Carson Wentz led an impressive 10 play, 74-yard drive that ended with a Curtis Samuel touchdown reception. The Commanders weren’t done, as Wentz led another impressive drive, this one went for 14 plays and 71 yards and was capped off by rookie Jahan Dotson’s first NFL touchdown.
Washington’s offense went quiet after the second score and it wasn’t until the fourth quarter that the Commanders were back on the board with two more Wentz touchdown passes. In the end, the defense did just enough to preserve an exciting season-opening win.
