Misery Index · Euphoric
Commanders fans toasting J.Daniels and the defense while already side-eyeing the meat left on the bone.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Fifteen points clear of the Giants with J.Daniels stacking efficient throws to C.Moore, D.Samuel, and N.Brown, and the defense allowing six. The intentional grounding deep in their own territory was the lone wobble in an otherwise tidy afternoon, though fans noting it felt like a 30-6 game aren't wrong — drives kept stalling in scoring range. Encouraging, but Week 1 against this opponent rarely tells the truth about what comes next.
