The Washington Commanders defeated the Denver Broncos 35-33 on Sunday to improve to 2-0 on the season. It’s the first time since 2011 that Washington has began a season with two consecutive wins.
It wasn’t easy as the Broncos opened up a 21-3 lead over the Commanders into the second quarter. However, Washington linebacker Jamin Davis chased down Denver quarterback Russell Wilson to force a fumble near midfield, giving the Commanders some momentum to turn the game around.
The Commanders rallied behind quarterback Sam Howell and the defensive line to hold a late Denver rally.
