The Commanders’ preseason opener against the Lions was a defensive showcase with flashes of brilliance—and glaring offensive line struggles. The defense dominated early, forcing two turnovers including a fumble recovery touchdown and an interception by Quan Martin, who’s now snagged two picks in two games. Sacks from T.J. Maguranyanga and Javontae Jean-Baptiste added pressure, while Amik Robertson’s fumble forced by his own play sealed the deal. Meanwhile, the starting offense barely saw the field, and the line—led by Julian Good-Jones and John Bates—gave up sacks and fumbles, exposing critical protection issues. It’s a mixed bag: the defense stepped up big, creating game-changing plays, while the offense needs urgent fixes. Coaches will be watching closely as roster battles unfold.
