The Washington Commanders survived a scare in Week 1, defeating the Arizona Cardinals 20-16 to move to 1-0 on the season.
It was an up-and-down day for Washington’s offense, as the Commanders turned the ball over three times, one of which led to an easy defensive touchdown — Arizona’s only touchdown of the day. The Commanders also fumbled in the red zone, taking at least three points off the board.
There were plenty of missed opportunities for Washington. Yet, the Commanders survived.
