The hours and days after the Commanders' 30-24 overtime victory against the Atlanta Falcons are for listening to the purest sound in sports. There it was, ringing through the lower bowl at Northwest Stadium, then spilling into the parking lots and out into the night, smiling and yelling and hugging. That was joy. Joy over what just happened. Joy over what could happen still. Joy for this unexpected, playing-with-house-money season.
I think the coolest part - and I think the thing that the fans have really gotten behind - is that we just frickin' win. I mean, we have 11 wins. Like ... what? This is the first time in a very long time that we've been able to celebrate our victories and feel this kind of joy over our performance as a team.
