"The Washington Commanders lost to the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day, but the game was much closer than anybody anticipated. Part of that was thanks to a strong showing by the supporting cast around third-string quarterback Josh Johnson. Deebo Samuel Sr. was every bit the weapon the Commanders traded for, accounting for 93 total yards of offense with multiple chunk plays. Terry McLaurin was his usual productive self with five catches for 63 receiving yards. Even Ben Sinnott hauled in three passes, a career-high."
"This paved the way for the player whom everybody has wanted to see more of all year. Croskey-Merritt took the Commanders by storm over the offseason as a seventh-round pick, and became Washington's RB1 in only three weeks after Brian Robinson Jr. was traded and Austin Ekeler tore his Achilles. Croskey-Merritt had some strong showings early in the season, mainly a 150-yard all-purpose outing against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5."
The Washington Commanders lost to the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day in a much closer contest than expected. Third-string quarterback Josh Johnson received strong support from playmakers such as Deebo Samuel Sr., who accounted for 93 total yards with multiple chunk plays, and Terry McLaurin, who caught five passes for 63 yards. Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt led the offense on the ground, scoring multiple touchdowns including a 72-yard run early in the third quarter. Chris Rodriguez Jr. was inactive with an illness, opening the door for Croskey-Merritt to reassert himself after earlier season ups and downs.
