Washington really has tapped into the ‘use the best players’ mentality in the secondary. The Commanders have gone to their 3 safety look a ton of course. The last two games, they’ve added Percy Butler in the mix on a combined 15 snaps for a 4-safety set.

Ron Rivera tells me that keeping Jon Allen and Daron Payne together is vital for the Commanders. Payne is slated for free agency, but Rivera says “it’s going to be hard but we’re going to do it.” Story here https://t.co/n8TFMy17aB

Just thinking out loud here. Jimmy G is healthy and set to be a free agent again. Meanwhile, the Commanders want to be a run-first team with a game-managing QB and will likely be looking for a starter again. pic.twitter.com/WMe3YUzxh1

Del Rio is coaching his ass off. Defense is playing fast and physical. How bad was Sam Mills? Yeesh.
— Marshall (@EstCommand) November 22, 2022
Defensive front has their ears pinned back and attacking. With Mills here they were playing as space eaters. Night and day difference. And as it should have always been. DL wasn’t allowed to be the identity until Mills was ejected.

Jon Allen tells @JunksRadio whatever NFL fine John Ridgeway gets for his “suplex” tackle vs Texans, Allen, Daron Payne, & Montez Sweat agreed to pay 1/4 of the fine.
“It’s [the fine] going to be massive. If we didn’t help him out, he’ll be playing the month of December for free” pic.twitter.com/dGsfSZxNve

Weird but true facts:
Since the start of the 2016 season, Davante Adams has the most receptions in the NFL but Travis Kelce has the most receiving yards. I did not realize that Kelce has a higher YPR average for his career (and also since 2016) than Adams.

The #Commanders are the only team in the NFL with 25+ sacks, 80+ QB hits, and 60+ tackles for loss. The team’s D-Line has become the juggernaut it always had the potential to be.
Washington’s six takeaways the lasted two weeks is also No. 1 in football

Little nugget I picked up: Bears QB Justin Fields apologized to his teammates after Chicago’s loss to the Falcons in the locker room postgame. Told them the defense gave the offense a chance, and the offense didn’t get it done.
Went a long way with guys, after he’d played hurt.
