The Washington Commanders had a night to forget on Friday. The New England Patriots whipped the Commanders 48-18 in the preseason opener for both teams. Things started badly for Washington as Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson took the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown.
It only got worse from there. The Commanders struggled to stop the run, had trouble catching the ball, turning the ball over and penalties. Washington was bad in all three phases. The 13 penalties for 98 yards had head coach Dan Quinn angry after the game.
So, despite the bad, was there any good from the game?
