The Commanders needed this one after three consecutive losses, all by one score. They took it to a lesser team Sunday, scoring touchdowns on their first four possessions and cruising to a 42-19 win over the Titans.
Washington improved to 8-5, while Tennessee fell to 3-9.
The Commanders outgained the Titans 463 to 245, with Jayden Daniels accounting for four touchdowns.
Daniels threw for three touchdowns — a 16-yarder to Terry McLaurin, a 3-yarder to McLaurin and a 4-yarder to Zach Ertz — and ran for a 3-yard score. He was 25-of-30 for 206 yards with three touchdowns and an interception.
Daniels had 34 of the team’s 267 rushing yards on nine carries. Brian Robinson rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and Chris Rodriguez had a career day with 13 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown.
The Titans held the Texans to 40 yards rushing last week, but Robinson went 40 yards for a touchdown on the Commanders’ first rush of the day.
Daniels completed 25 of 30 passes for 206 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. McLaurin caught eight passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns.
McLaurin’s touchdowns came after back-to-back fumbles by the Titans.
Will Levis went 18-for-37 for 212 yards and two touchdowns, with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine catching three for 61 yards and two touchdowns.
