Defense came up big at the end of the game
3rd Quarter
John Bates blocking:
Great downfield blocking from John Bates on that Robinson toss
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 27, 2022
Almost picked off again:
This is an incomplete pass.
That ball hit turf.#HTTC pic.twitter.com/aL8UQNjadO
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) November 27, 2022
Another INT – floater to left sideline. Throwing the sideline requires zip
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 27, 2022
MVP:
Tress Way is really good at his job.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) November 27, 2022
James Smith-Williams pressure:
Great job by Smith-Williams on Mariota there.
— Commanders Wire (@Washington_Wire) November 27, 2022
5 man front:
Washington used a five-man front on each play of that last series. Had not shown it much in the first half

Brian Robinson:
Brian Robinson is averaging 6.1 yards per attempt this afternoon.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) November 27, 2022
Brian Robinson running really well — with power, confidence. This is what they were expecting in training camp before the shooting.
— John Keim (@john_keim) November 27, 2022
Timeout:
Commanders keep with their weekly tradition of burning a timeout early in the 2nd half that they may need later.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 27, 2022
Jonathan Williams sighting:
Jonathan Williams is a quality NFL running back who’s behind two other quality NFL running backs. Nice nine-yarder there followed by a chain-moving dive

John Bates TD:
TOUCHDOWN
Heinicke finds TE John Bates in the middle of approximately a million Falcons defenders for the TD.
Great throw. Great route.
Great result#HTTC | @jjohnbates pic.twitter.com/edM8rabNfr

Looks like TE said for the Bates TD. Dotson runs the clear out and Bates breaks outside into the vacated space. Nice ball from Heinicke and #Commanders are back on top pic.twitter.com/UYrFWlaAWf

Missed XP:
I hope that missed extra point doesn’t come back and cost Washington.

4th Quarter
Brian Robinson career day:
Man, Brian Robinson is having a DAY.
He currently has 99 yards and is AVG 6.1 YPC.
And he seems really, really unfun to tackle. #HTTC | @BrianR_4 pic.twitter.com/gFEiU6FmBs
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) November 27, 2022
Robinson with a lot of big fella runs today. And last couple weeks.
— John Keim (@john_keim) November 27, 2022
Jonathan Williams:
Jonathan Williams has done a nice job every time he’s gotten a chance to carry the ball this season. Limited snaps; takes advantage.
— John Keim (@john_keim) November 27, 2022
Ron Rivera has said the team would ride the hot hand at running back and that’s currently Jonathan Williams.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) November 27, 2022
Offensive pass interference:
OPI on 3rd and 8 for Washington. Oy. Ball pushed back to the 37.
