The Washington Commanders defeated the Indianapolis Colts 17-16 Sunday after some late-game heroics from quarterback Taylor Heinicke and wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
Washington’s offense was quiet for a good portion of the game. The once-promising running game had all but disappeared, and Heinicke was left checking down, leading to multiple short drives.
Fortunately for Washington, its defense did its job, keeping the game close until the offense could eventually figure things out. Now, the Commanders sit at 4-4 on the season and have a much different outlook than they did after that heartbreaking loss to the Titans in Week 5.
We name six players who stood out in Washington’s win over Indianapolis.
