After a turnover changed the game, Washington scored its most points since November 2020 and improved to 2-0 for the first time in 12 years.
Washington scored at least 35 points for the first time since its 41-16 rout of the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day in 2020, and Sunday marked the team’s first win when it allowed 33 or more points since October 2013. A lot of the credit should go to Bieniemy, the Commanders’ first-year offensive coordinator, who was back in the state where he shined as a running back for Colorado and in a stadium he knows well from his five years as OC for the Kansas City Chiefs.
After catching only two passes for nine yards in his debut last week, the speedy wide receiver hauled in a 60-yard touchdown catch on Denver’s second possession. “We blew a couple coverages that we shouldn’t have,” Rivera said. Mims added a 54-yard catch to set up a touchdown on the Broncos’ third drive and later returned a punt 45 yards. He wasn’t targeted once in the second half.
