Washington dominated the first half of its first game as the Commanders behind the team’s new starting quarterback Carson Wentz, who completed 75% of his passes for 2 TDs and no interceptions to take a 14-3 lead at the half.
The second half was a different story, as Wentz threw interceptions on back to back drives to open the 4th quarter, allowing Jacksonville to take a 22-14 lead following the second pick.
Good teams find a way to win, and the Commanders scored a touchdown on a 49-yard bomb to Terry McLaurin to bring the score to 22-20, then forced a punt by the Jaguars.
