Joey Slye named NFC Special teams player of the week. Made all four FGs vs the Eagles. Good from 58, 55, 44 and 32 yards in the 32-21 win. Now 13-15 for the season; perfect on all 3 FG attempts of 50+.

Joey Slye’s 58-yard field goal last night was the second longest in team history. His 55-yarder ranks near the top as well. Big night. #Commanders.

Ron Rivera is essentially delaying the true QB decision another week. Taylor Heinicke will start Sunday, but they’ll see how it goes with Carson Wentz after he’s designated to return.

Great shot from the broadcast after Slye’s 55-yarder of Heinicke celebrating in the foreground and Wentz getting hype right behind him. Carson no doubt wants to be playing but he’s still rooting for his guys pic.twitter.com/tnzPcxdhCa

The Commanders lead the NFL in time of possession at 32:30 per game. They narrowly lead the Ravens, Bengals and Giants among other strong teams in this category.
You wanted an identity? You’ve got one. Keep the ball with runs and short passes. Shorten the game.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 16, 2022
Texans coach Lovie Smith said the Commanders’ duo of Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson are two of the toughest tandem of backs they’ll face this year.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) November 16, 2022
The last game a healthy Wentz played was Tennessee. We rushed for a total of 43 yards Carson was 25 of 38 for 359 yds and 2 TDs. He also drove us down the field in 4th quarter before yes throwing a sickening pick in the end zone.
I want to see that Wentz with this run game #HTTC— Commanders UK (@Commanders_UK) November 16, 2022
Did not see LB Cole Holcomb or RB JD McKissic out there.

The Commanders didn’t just beat the Eagles.
They just provided every one of their future opponents including playoff foes with a blueprint on how to do it. They can be had on the ground as we all knew. That was the script.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 15, 2022
I kept saying that I haven’t seen a #Commanders game like last night in my lifetime. I’ve now been able to confirm that with the help of @theaceofspaeder.
The last time Washington ran 80+ plays and averaged only 4.1 yds/play in a win was 11/11/84. That was 38 years ago.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 15, 2022
I of course would love to see the Commanders one day with an All-Pro QB and four Pro Bowl WRs that put up 50 points a game. But I gotta say — watching them scheme up ways to move the ball (especially with the run) on MNF was awesome. Everyone’s in motion, big bodies everywhere

I have gone back and forth over the years on whether interior or edge pressure is more important, but this season is pushing me further into the interior pressure > crowd than ever before. The flexibility having a ‘dude’ inside provides a defense is incredibly valuable.
— Brandon Thorn (@BrandonThornNFL) November 16, 2022
The Commanders, Jets, and Titans have the best interior duos in the NFL. Each rank inside the top 4 in QB knockdowns per PFR. They are 1-2-3 in QB hits per drop back via TruMedia. Plenty of other teams with just one stud IDL rank highly in these as well.
— Brandon Thorn (@BrandonThornNFL) November 16, 2022
And yes, I realize Autry (TEN) & JFM (NYJ) rush outside a lot, but I think the primary point here is the value of having a stud interior guy with another higher end compliment next to him. But having just one is still a huge benefit.

You guys have been rocking with me for a long time, and I’ve always appreciated it! Pro bowl votes are up now, so let’s get me to my first one! Luv❤️ https://t.co/blyPRjbmmV pic.twitter.com/0hWmVLL78L

Terry McLaurin’s organizational rank after 59 career games:
1st – 100-yard games (13)
1st – 60+ yard games (33)
2nd – catches (268)
2nd – yards (3,827)
7th – TDs (18)— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 16, 2022
Terry McLaurin faced Darius Slay on 19 of his 29 routes (66% shadow).
McLaurin caught 5 of 7 targets for 90 yards with Slay as the nearest defender, the most yards given up to a receiver by Slay since Week 15, 2021 (51 yards, also against McLaurin).#WASvsPHI | #HTTC pic.twitter.com/9JHEhBsgjC
— Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) November 15, 2022
Terry McLaurin was targeted on a season-high 38% of routes in Week 10. He has been targeted at a higher rate in four-straight games since Taylor Heinicke took over at QB.

Taylor Heinicke: 30%

The Eagles have only allowed 100+ yards to receivers twice this year. They were both to Terry Mclaurin #HTTC

— Darrick Forrest Jr. (@_Dfoe5) November 17, 2022
Darrick Forrest’s pick was one of the best plays by a Washington safety in a long time. To be able to drop, then bail, then have the speed and then have the awareness to turn for the ball all in the same snap is pretty special pic.twitter.com/YcJPUe5rwp

The Washington Commanders’ secondary Monday night:
▫️Kendall Fuller: 2 targets, 0 comp, and 0 yds allowed
▫️ Kam Curl: 2 targets, 2 comp, -4 yds allowed
▫️Benjamin St-Juste: 8 targets, 4 comp, 29 yds, 1 FF
▫️Held AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert to a combined 69 yds pic.twitter.com/pnK5tfohD2— Reid (@reidwinterfb) November 16, 2022
Darrick Forrest allowed 3 targets for 3 completions and 67 yards and 1 interception. He played great all game and nearly had his fingertips on that 50 yarder to Quez, which would’ve helped his stats out immensely. Meanwhile, he graded out extremely well at a 79.2. pic.twitter.com/Xa6LQEvCiK
— Reid (@reidwinterfb) November 16, 2022
Kam Curl has allowed 6 or fewer yards in 8 games. Since William Jackson was benched (Jackson was benched after week 4, Fuller has played 6 games since), Kendall Fuller has allowed a 48% comp%, 22 ypg, 1 touchdown, and has 5 pass breakups.

Who even was our 3rd CB out there? I don’t think I heard Wildgoose’s name all game

It was McCain
— Al Bundy jr. (@Polkhighgreat) November 17, 2022
Eagles had 8 3rd down attempts on Monday. 2 were 3rd & short runs. From the other 6, the Commanders blitzed 3 times and gave up conversions each time. The 3 times they didn’t blitz and just rushed 4 while playing coverage, they got the stop.
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 17, 2022
Taylor Heinicke has a better win pct (.526) since joining the @Commanders in 2020 than:
– Kyler Murray (.513)
– Joe Burrow (.500)
– Justin Herbert (.488)> Over that same span pic.twitter.com/SNuE2fXZWd

Taylor Heinicke said he did order each members of the starting line a pair of Jordan sneakers, in Eagles colors of course.

This QB got hit not once but twice after this moment and yall don’t think it’s a penalty?!?! pic.twitter.com/Hzk6XLLpe2
— Jubs09 ⓦ (@JamesJubane) November 16, 2022
If a QB kneels down at the end of the game in Victory formation, you can’t hit him, right? Right. Why? Because the rule says he gave himself up. Graham’s hit on Taylor was a foul… he gave himself up… it doesn’t matter if you like the rule or not. Stop crying, Philly.

Now that the Republicans are projected to control the House, the Republicans on the Oversight Committee have issued a statement from Ranking Member James Comer on the status of the investigation of Daniel Snyder and the Commanders when Republicans assume control: “It’s over.”
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) November 17, 2022
Republicans officially assume control in January. It is still expected that a final report or memo will be issued on the Democratic-led investigation of the Commanders and Daniel Snyder.

Report: The reason the #Raiders won’t fire Josh McDaniels is financial – “They don’t have the money to fire him.”
The team is “cash poor” and can’t afford to fire McDaniels and then pay another coach, according to @BillPlaschke

As we have seen over the years, a vote of confidence by an owner isn’t worth much. I do have a decent idea from sources there having reported on the exec turnover what’s going on, and I can say there seems to be no issues w Davis’ liquidity.

Open Score (x) by Catch Score (y), 2022 season.
-Tyler Lockett, permanently underrated (YAC score not shown, though)
-Chris Olave is amazing already, needs a quarterback
-Diontae Johnson is always open
-Donovan Peoples-Jones and George Pickens: not open, still making catches. pic.twitter.com/a61G2B4N2K
