Commanders win fifth straight: The top X reactions to Washington’s victory over Dallas

The best reactions from the Commanders’ win over the Cowboys.

The Washington Commanders sure have a flair for the dramatics here recently. After last-second wins over the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons the last two weeks, Washington did it again on Sunday, beating the Dallas Cowboys 23-19 when quarterback Marcus Mariota found wide receiver Terry McLaurin for the game-winner with three seconds remaining.

Dallas led Washington 6-3 at halftime for the second time this season. However, following the same script from the first meeting six weeks ago, the offensive fireworks were saved for the second half. The Cowboys managed only one touchdown, which came with seven minutes remaining to give them a 19-16 lead.

Mariota, who relieved rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels for the second half, rescued Washington. Mariota led the Commanders on touchdown drives of 70, 70, and 91 yards in four second-half drives.

Throughout the game, Washington fans were frustrated, specifically with the defense. The Commanders allowed the Cowboys, one of the NFL’s worst rushing teams, to rush for 150 yards. Dallas quarterback Trey Lance, making his first start in over two years, passed for 244 yards, ran for 26, and did not turn the ball over.

Fans were elated by the end of the game, though, which is a typical gameday for Commanders’ social media.

Another tough day for Benjamin St-Juste.

The second penalty on St-Juste was a bad call, though.

Some “love” for defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.

Sad little Eagles fan weighing in. Interesting how these profiles are always the same:
