Games like Sunday’s win over the Atlanta Falcons don’t often go the way of the Washington Commanders. Washington defeated Atlanta 24-16 despite being behind in almost every statistical category.
The two key stats where the Commanders were ahead were the most important: The scoreboard and turnovers. Washington forced three turnovers; all three were second-half interceptions from Atlanta quarterback Desmond Ridder, including one from Commanders linebacker Jamin Davis with less than 30 seconds remaining to seal the win.
The win improves Washington to 3-3 with a road game against the New York Giants in Week 7.
Let’s take a look back at the Commanders’ win over the Falcons. Here are five takeaways from Washington’s win.
