How would the Washington Commanders respond against the worst team in the NFL after last Monday’s upset win over the previously unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles?
The Commanders dominated the Houston Texans in a 23-10 win Sunday that wasn’t even as close as the final score indicated. Washington held Houston to just five total yards in the first half. The Texans did score 10 points in the second half, but the Commanders weren’t playing nearly as aggressively. Houston still managed only 148 total yards.
Washington’s offense, which had 246 total yards in the first half, barely tried anything in the second half. Quarterback Taylor Heinicke attempted just five second-half passes. The Commanders rushed for 153 yards in the win.
It was a dominant victory, but head coach Ron Rivera made it clear after the game that his team had some things to clear up before Week 12.
As we look to turn the page to Week 12, let’s take a look at some of the top images from Washington’s win over the Texans.
