In a very entertaining game, the Commanders held on to get their third win of the season on the road in Atlanta. The offense scored just 24 points, but unlike previous weeks, the defense allowed just 16 points and made some key plays when the game hung in the balance.
With 10 days to prepare, Rivera and company looked like they had the team much better prepared than their previous contests, and despite some new faces to the lineup, the units seemed to gel pretty well.
Now sitting at three and three on the season, Washington will look to build on some defensive success and try to keep the momentum rolling over the next two weeks when they have back-to-back division games against the Giants and Eagles.
