This raised eyebrows, but fans were eager to see if these alterations could bear fruit. As it turned out, the Commanders looked much more assured in the trenches. Wylie provided rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. with the necessary support while also handling his own responsibilities effectively.

LANDOVER, Md. -- Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn wiped blood from his face as he walked to the locker room at halftime Sunday after getting knocked down on the sideline in a collision with quarterback Marcus Mariota. At the end of a 4-yard run in the final seconds of the second quarter of Washington's game against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, Mariota was shoved out of bounds. He knocked into Quinn, who fell backward and slammed his head on the ground.
