The temperature will call to around 64 overnight. The Nationals will visit the Braves today. The Commanders played without Jayden Daniels and still administered a 41-24 thrashing to the Raiders yesterday, and the Capitals beat Boston handily in a preseason tilt last night.

( NYT) "Many speakers invoked the notion of a 'revival' and spoke in expressly religious terms." ( NBC News)"
