Jayden Daniels returns as Kliff Kingsbury's 'physical finesse' offense and a stifling defense lead the Commanders to a dominant 27-10 road win over the Chargers.

National analysts are taking notice of Kliff Kingsbury's creative adjustments. We break down the in-game pivot to a run-heavy Pistol offense that unlocked the Commanders' identity. Then, in our After-Action Review, we detail how a dominant ground game and a defense that forced two critical turnovers executed the game plan to perfection after a slow start. What does this win mean for the future of the offense, and which concerning habits still need to be cleaned up?

Today's episode is brought to you by PrizePicks and Mazda.
