The Washington Commanders took a different approach with cornerback Marshon Lattimore in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. It had the desired effect.
Joe Whitt Jr. gave Lattimore his 10th-lowest rate of man coverage snaps at SoFi Stadium, according to Next Gen Stats. He allowed only one reception for six receiving yards, which played a significant role in Washington coming from behind to seal a memorable triumph on the road.
But as fans know all too well, the Ohio State product is always one play away from catastrophe these days.
