The Commanders ran into a well-coached team with an excellent defense on Sunday afternoon at home. The Steelers played Jayden Daniels’ dual-threat ability well all game, and did enough to make him look uncomfortable for the first time all year. The run game averaged just 2.7 yards per carry and the offensive line had a hard time protecting Daniels. It didn’t help that the Commanders’ pass-catchers dropped a bunch of passes, and the refs made some bad calls and missed some other obvious ones.
Despite all this, Washington was still in a great position to win the game late in the fourth quarter.
