After every Washington game this season, fans anxiously await the thoughts of minority owner Magic Johnson. Johnson, one of Josh Harris’ limited partners, is known to go to Twitter — or X — when discussing one of his teams, through the good or bad.
Johnson often talks about the Dodgers and Lakers, but since officially jumping on board as one of Washington’s owners, Johnson weighs in on the Commanders’ latest performance.
Usually positive, Johnson was none too pleased with Washington’s embarrassing performance in a Thursday night loss to the Bears in Week 5.
After Sunday’s win over the New England Patriots, Johnson was pleased with his team, specifically mentioning head coach Ron Rivera, offensive coordinator, quarterback Sam Howell and rookie defensive back Jartavius “Quan” Martin.
I’m very happy with my Commanders win over the Patriots! Players stepped up on both sides of the ball and played consistent in the entire fourth quarter.

Johnson on the coaches.
Coach Rivera had the team ready to play and Coach Eric Bieniemy called an excellent game! He was creative on offense and switched between runs and passes.

He gives some love to his quarterback.
QB Sam Howell did well executing the game plan. He threw for over 300 yards, his third game this season.

Johnson loved what he saw from Washington’s wide receivers, too.
I want to give a special shoutout to our receivers! They were excellent and caught just about everything Howell threw their way today.

He didn’t forget about the offensive line, either.
Our offensive line stepped up big this week and the defense played a solid game. Jartavius Martin’s interception sealed the victory for the team!

Usually, Magic has one tweet for the game, but he was apparently feeling really good about Sunday’s win.
Things are much tougher next week as the Commanders are back on the road in Seattle to face the Seahawks.
