Offensive spotlight: The Washington Commanders may have named Sam Howell their starting quarterback for the regular season, but veteran backup Jacoby Brissett showed them that he’ll be able to deliver if they need to call on him.

Iosivas was wide open for that touchdown but had more difficult and impressive grabs throughout the game. He showed off really nice athleticism and some strength at the catch point, coming down with one contested catch.
Commanders rookie receiver Mitchell Tinsley also had a strong game, coming away with 89 receiving yards and a touchdown on three catches from four targets.
