Commanders Vs. Ravens: Studs and Duds of the Game

Key Takeaways from Commanders Vs. Ravens

Washington's trip just up the beltway didn’t quite work out as planned. The Ravens exposed the weaknesses of the Commanders defense and pretty much had their way offensively all game. Dan Quinn’s group didn’t back down however, showing great resilience and the ability to put points on the board against one of the league’s best defenses. In the end, it just wasn’t quite enough. However, this game did show us a few things:

• This team can be competitive with Daniels under center;
• Washington is still quite a bit away from being considered one of the elite teams in this league.

Studs and Duds Breakdown

Studs

• Jayden Daniels - Going against the best defense he’s seen as a pro, Daniels did all he could to keep Washington in this game. He was an efficient 24-35 (including two drops) for 269 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 22 rushing yards.
• Terry McLaurin - Terry led the team in receptions with six and had 53 yards while hauling in two receiving touchdowns on the afternoon.
• Dante Fowler - The Commanders front four generated very little pressures, but Fowler stood out with four tackles, three for a loss, two sacks, and three pressures.

Duds

• Benjamin St-Juste - St-Juste looked out of place on the football field this game, committing multiple penalties.
• Daron Payne - Payne struggled significantly, not recording a meaningful stat during the game.
• Andrew Wylie - Struggled on the edge and allowed multiple pressures, which hurt the offense at critical points.
• Emmanuel Forbes - Forbes didn’t even see the field, raising concerns about his development.
• Tony Romo - Romo continued to draw on the teleprompter while live plays unfolded, detracting from the viewing experience.
