Description

The Washington Commanders, despite a 30-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, showcased promising performances from their young players. Quarterback Case Johnson, making his first start in four years, nearly led a comeback. Rookie running back Bill Croskey-Merritt scored two touchdowns, including a 72-yarder, and second-year defensive tackle Johnny Newton recorded three sacks. Left tackle Brandon Coleman held strong, and kicker Jake Moody nailed all three field goals. Despite the loss, these breakout performances indicate a brighter future for the Commanders in 2026.
