The Commanders badly needed a get right win to quash the seeds of doubt that started to germinate during a three-game losing streak. They did it in resounding fashion with a 42-19 blow-out of the Tennessee Titans.
They didn’t do it all on their own, however. They got a lot of help from the Titans, who committed 12 penalties for 93 yds, coughed up 2 turnovers, dropped 6 passes, made 11 bad throws, and missed 7 tackles.
While the Titans had only won three games this season, their struggles had mainly been on offense. Through Week 12, their defense was very strong in some areas, ranking 2nd in the league in total yds allowed and first downs, 1st in passing yds allowed, 4th in net yds/attempt, 6th in rushing Y/A and 9th in total rushing yds allowed.
