It was another outstanding defensive effort for the Washington Commanders in Sunday’s 23-10 domination of the Houston Texans.
The Commanders held the Texans to five total yards in the first half. Houston would finish the game with 148 total yards, something that didn’t sit well with Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen after the game.

It’s that type of focus that has taken this defense to another level. Not only is Washington’s defense playing at an elite level, but the secondary is also playing in unison and with confidence.
In Sunday’s win, Allen and defensive end Montez Sweat picked up two sacks each, while defensive tackle Daron Payne added another sack. Cornerback Kendall Fuller returned an interception for a touchdown, while safety Darrick Forrest had a highlight-reel pick.
So, who was Washington’s top performers from Week 11?
