Securing an emphatic victory over the Los Angeles Chargers was the confidence boost everyone associated with the Washington Commanders needed. It was a comprehensive success for head coach Dan Quinn's squad, which overcame a sluggish start to overwhelm the opposition en route to an eye-catching road triumph.
This was the first of a brutal stretch of fixtures for the Commanders, so getting off to a positive start was crucial. There is no routine in the coming weeks. It's the price of being in the limelight once again, but Quinn and his players are experienced enough to minimize complications.
