Commanders fans reliving RGIII in real time, already mourning J.Daniels while cursing Hochuli's crew for the rest.

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings

What happened

J.Daniels going down on that incomplete short right in the second quarter turned a competitive road game into something much darker, and the M.Mariota fumble on the strip-sack in the third made it official. The 24-yard strike to T.McLaurin early feels like a cruel artifact now — proof of what this looks like when the quarterback is upright. The scoreline hurts. The RGIII flashbacks hurt more.

What fans said

  • “It hurts even more because Jayden was looking like his incredible self before going down.”

    NFC East: — Giants 1-0 with a lighter schedule coming — Eagles in a dogfight with the worst team in the league — Commanders don’t have an O-Line — Cowboys still don’t have a defense This could really be our year to win the division.
