The Washington Commanders rallied after going down by eight in the fourth quarter, downing the Jacksonville Jaguars, 28-22, in Week 1 thanks to a late touchdown pass to rookie Jahan Dotson.
Offensive spotlight: Christian Kirk shined in his Jaguars debut as Trevor Lawrence‘s top receiver, tallying six catches on nine targets for 117 yards. Fifty of those yards came after contact, and he also forced a missed tackle.
Defensive spotlight: Jonathan Allen, Montez Sweat and Daron Payne wreaked havoc on the Jaguars' offensive line to combine for 15 pressures, including three sacks.
Rookie spotlight: Washington receiver Jahan Dotson caught two touchdowns on five targets. Two of his three catches were in contested situations.
Offensive line spotlight: Both offensive lines struggled in pass protection. Jaguars guard Ben Bartch surrendered a game-high five pressures, and two Washington linemen (Trai Turner, Wes Schweitzer) earned sub-40.0 pass-blocking grades on first review.
