Thanks to a win over the Arizona Cardinals, the Washington Commanders are now in possession of a 3-1 record after Week 4. For his part, NBA icon Magic Johnson urged the franchise’s fans to show up and support the team when Week 5 rolls around.
In a dominant display, the Commanders defeated Arizona with a score of 42-14. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels showcased his talent, completing 26 of 30 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for a 9-yard score. This victory marked the Commanders’ third consecutive win, placing them at 3-1 for the season.
The Commanders started strong, responding to an early Cardinals touchdown with two scoring drives. Brian Robinson Jr. made a significant impact, rushing for 101 yards and contributing to the offensive momentum. Jeremy McNichols added two rushing touchdowns, further solidifying the team’s performance.
Defensively, Washington pressured Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, resulting in four sacks despite Murray’s completion of 16 of 22 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown. Murray expressed frustration over the team’s lackluster performance, emphasizing the need for improvement.
Daniels’ impressive start has drawn comparisons to notable quarterbacks, as he became the fourth in Super Bowl history to rush for four touchdowns in his first four games. The Commanders have now scored over 30 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2017, demonstrating their offensive prowess.
