Sainristil immediately won the starting slot cornerback job, but after the secondary had multiple issues in the opening weeks of the season, the Commanders kicked him outside and he steadily improved over the course of the season. He came up with two huge interceptions in the playoff win over the Lions, one of which was a truly exceptional play that showed the upside in his game.
The Commanders happen to play the exact coverage that the Lions were looking for. They play quarters coverage and you can see how safety Quan Martin attaches to the basic cross from the slot receiver.
