Jacory Croskey-Merritt was the standout performer for Washington, rushing for an impressive 141 yards and contributing significantly to their scoring efforts. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars threw for 358 yards and a touchdown, but it wasn't enough to match the Commanders' offensive firepower. The Jaguars struggled to find consistency, with Bhayshul Tuten leading the receiving corps with only 80 yards. Defensively, the Commanders were relentless, led by Quan Martin's five total tackles and a key performance from Daron Payne, who recorded a sack.
