In a hard-fought Week 11 matchup, the Washington Commanders topped the Cincinnati Bengals with a final score of 28-20, maintaining their playoff hopes as the season approaches its climax. Both teams entered the game with high stakes, looking to secure crucial momentum heading into the final stretch of the season. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels delivered a stellar performance, throwing for 290 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to make big plays under pressure. Despite the Bengals' efforts, it was Samaje Perine's 59 rushing yards that couldn't quite match the explosiveness of the Washington offense, while Ja'Marr Chase led Cincinnati's receiving corps with 81 yards but was unable to find the end zone. The Commanders' defense made a crucial impact, led by Leo Chenal, who recorded nine total tackles. Odafe Oweh added to the pressure with a key sack that shifted momentum in the second half, allowing Washington to maintain their lead. The turning point came late in the third quarter when a timely interception by the Commanders halted a promising Bengals drive, sealing the game in Washington's favor.
