What happened

A 17-point win that somehow left the fanbase more tired than relieved. D.Jones coughed one up to O.Oweh early and never fully steadied, while A.Kaliakmanis uncorked a 47-yard touchdown to T.Burks that briefly suggested Washington might run away with it. The scoreboard says comfortable; the film apparently says otherwise, and the lingering questions around the quarterback and the secondary aren't going away just because the Commanders obliged.
