Commanders

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

M.Penix carved up the secondary all afternoon, and the 69-yard strike to B.Robinson down to the 7 was the kind of play that made the M.Sainristil interception feel like a tease rather than a turning point. The D.Samuel touchdown from M.Mariota in the fourth sealed it, but the larger problem isn't one drive — it's that the defense has no answers, and the calls for Joe Whitt's job are no longer fringe noise.
