Commanders' high-priced pickup is quietly proving everyone wrong
"Javon Kinlaw has been sensational for the Commanders so far Criticized in the offseason as "the worst signing of the early free agency period," Kinlaw continued to stand out as a reliable cog for the defense with another quietly efficient game. Most of his good work doesn't show up on the stat sheet, but it makes a significant impact nonetheless."
"Kinlaw kept his momentum rolling in Los Angeles, helping shut down Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton. A week after torching the New York Giants for 128 yards and a score, the first-round pick was held to just 3.7 yards per carry before leaving with an injury. Having to double up on Kinlaw also opened rushing lanes for the Commanders' defense, resulting in five sacks and constant pressure on quarterback Justin Herbert, who finished with the eighth-worst passing yardage total of his care"
Washington overcame a 10-0 deficit as Javon Kinlaw and the defensive line steadied a struggling secondary and helped hold the Chargers scoreless for more than three quarters. Kinlaw repeatedly disrupted the Chargers' offensive line, finishing with four tackles but frequently drawing double teams and penetrating into the backfield to force no gain on runs. His interior presence helped limit rookie Omarion Hampton to 3.7 yards per carry before injury. The Commanders' defense generated five sacks and consistent pressure on Justin Herbert. Offensively, returning quarterback Jayden Daniels led 27 unanswered points, securing a pivotal road victory.
