"After a disappointing loss in Week 2 to the Green Bay Packers, the Washington Commanders looked to right the ship on Sunday at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. They've been forced into a less-than-ideal situation injury-wise, with star quarterback Jayden Daniels out due to a knee sprain and Marcus Mariota starting under center. Additionally, tight end John Bates, wide receiver Noah Brown, running back Austin Ekeler, and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. are all out, the latter two for the season."
"The offense kept humming from there, mainly by way of the ground game, though a Mariota fumble and a Matt Gay missed field goal kept the Raiders in the game with the score tied at 10 late in the second quarter. Then, Jeremy McNichols decided to put the team on his back with a 60-yard scamper to the end zone through contact."
Washington faced multiple injuries, with Jayden Daniels sidelined by a knee sprain and Marcus Mariota starting. John Bates, Noah Brown, Austin Ekeler, and Deatrich Wise Jr. were out, with Ekeler and Wise Jr. ruled out for the season. Washington established the run immediately, opening with a Mariota keeper touchdown on a five-play, 27-yard, all-rush drive. A Mariota fumble and a Matt Gay missed field goal kept Las Vegas tied at 10 late in the second quarter. Jeremy McNichols broke a 60-yard touchdown run, and Washington totaled 171 rushing yards in the first half, with multiple backs contributing.
