Ravens beat the Commanders 30-23.
WSH sees its 4-game win streak snapped but proved itself a game competitor on the road against a good team. Hard not to feel like the 4-2 locals are a playoff caliber squad coming out of this one. pic.twitter.com/Wi4Eun3PWC

Refs weren’t the problem. Play calling wasn’t the problem. Defense wasn’t the problem. Offwnse wasnt the problem. It was a great game. We just lost it. On to the Panthers. #RaiseHail #HTTC

4-2 with the Panthers on deck. Played well. Learned a lot today. No moral victories but the Commanders can play w any team in the league

Terry McLaurin- “losing sucks” pic.twitter.com/ZwstpiSub7

Washington came in averaging 178.4 a game. No Brian Robinson is a major factor but…
Makes everything harder when you can’t or choose not to run. Only 16 attempts.
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 13, 2024
Another element to this is ball control.
The #Ravens had it for 36:08 and the @Commanders only 23:52.
Wrong offense to go against when you can’t or choose not to run the ball. https://t.co/giqxxaX1ax
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 13, 2024
The #Commanders were only 4-12 on third down today, which is because they didn’t/couldn’t run the ball.
Only 305 net yards of offense.
Thought Jayden was fine/good but not great.
McLaurin & Noah Brown stood out. Surprised they didn’t get McCaffrey more involved.
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 13, 2024
Commanders are way ahead of schedule. Currently feels like they’ve found their QB, they’ve got a dynamic offense and they can play with anyone.
Can’t escape feeling they still are short in a few key areas. A CB1 and a pass-rushing ace at the top of that list.

Rick Snider’s Washington says Washington Commanders’ defensive woes were costly at Baltimore Ravens. Gimme two minutes. pic.twitter.com/WUknswQI6T

Not a happy Commanders team heading into the locker room.
That’s all I wanted to see. See who was going to be pissed off. And they all are not a happy group so this is a VERY GOOD thing.

Dante Fowler played a hell of a game for the #Commanders.
Two sacks, four tackles but impact was noticeable beyond that, especially after Armstrong’s injury in the 2nd Q.
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 13, 2024
Liked:
JD played well; gave them chance.
McLaurin was a dude. 2 TD grabs.
Noah Brown’s legit. 4-58; 23-yd PI.
Sainristil was physical. Had 1st INT.Didn’t like:
Armstrong/ Allen injuries.
Allowed 7.4 per play, 176 rushing.
Way too much room vs zone pic.twitter.com/wEEpI3S8ue— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 13, 2024
The #Commanders‘ defense was horrible and lost two key players. The team badly missed Brian Robinson Jr. And yet this still was a one-score game. That’s because of Jayden Daniels. Washington in years past would have gotten destroyed in this game. But things now are different.
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) October 13, 2024
Totally agree. Just don’t have the CBs on the perimeter. Prob the top need at the trade deadline/offseason. https://t.co/JYMCdmE0h5
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) October 13, 2024
Noah Brown has had himself a nice return to the lineup today. The DPI drawn doesn’t count for him in the box score, but it does for those living outside of their mother’s basement. #Commanders
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 13, 2024
That 4th and 6 TD throw to Terry McLaurin (and his catch) was pretty incredible by the way.
— CWallSports (@cwallse) October 13, 2024
WOW.
Commanders 9/9 on 4th downs this season. Daniels finds McLaurin for the touchdown to cut the deficit to 7.
4Q: Baltimore 27, Washington 20

They got 4 years and a bunch of cap to build that defense https://t.co/nNu7ojM637

Lamar Jackson: “I believe [Jayden Daniels] deserves all the hype he’s getting. He played a tremendous game out there. They just came up short. He’s been proving it. His rookie season – first six games he’s been playing amazing.”
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 13, 2024
Derrick Henry carried the ball 24 times for 132 yards and 2 TDs while generating +34 rushing yards over expected.
This was Henry’s fourth game of the season over +30 RYOE, most in the NFL. Only one player had more such games in all of 2023 (C. McCaffrey, 5).#WASvsBAL | @Ravens pic.twitter.com/X8ngXlU9QO

Caleb Williams is probably going to win the Jayden Daniels Rookie of the Week award this week.
Nice of Jayden to share. True ‘high character’ stuff. Really demonstrates great attributes. https://t.co/Y00Fyy0rUv
