The Washington Commanders defeated the Houston Texans 23-10 and improve to 6-5 on the season. There was never any doubt that Washington was going to win after their defense set the tone with a Pick-6 in the 1st quarter. They rolled to a 20-0 lead at halftime, and didn’t look back.

That's the fourth sack for the defense, second by Montez Sweat. After the most productive drive Houston has had all day, they're ending it with a field goal

No shutout:
The shutout is over. Texans make a 29-yarder. It's 20-3.

Brian Robinson’s power:
Tremendous run by Brian Robinson on a play that was DOA at the snap. Got hit in backfield on 3rd and 2. Should've lost 3.

Broke two tackles and moved the chains for #Commanders.

That's five sacks for Washington today, and another for Jonathan Allen. Houston punting again
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) November 20, 2022
They've been stopping Pierce on the ground even with two-deep safety looks. Also don't have to blitz to get pressure. That's the benefit of this DL.

4th Quarter
4th down conversion:
Nice design on 4th and 1 conversion for Scott Turner and his guys. #Commanders faked jet action carry after running several today and countered the other way with Robinson.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 20, 2022
Field goal:
23-3. If you had a 20-point lead, take a drink.

Benjamin St-Juste injury:
St-Juste down on the play after forcing an incompletion
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) November 20, 2022
St-Juste (ankle) questionable to return

Taylor Heinicke injury?:
Heinicke had a slight limp going off the field after that 3rd down, but from the replay looks like he had an offensive lineman stand on his foot
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 20, 2022
Davis Mills runs it in:
Texans TD. Davis Mills 4-yard run. XP away from a 23-10 game.

John Bates blocking:
John Bates just absolutely mauled some dude about ten yards backwards on the Antonio Gibson run. Wow.

Antonio Gibson football IQ:
Antonio Gibson made a play that his coaches will appreciate and his fantasy football owners will loathe. Gave himself up with nothing but space between himself and the end zone.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) November 20, 2022
Antonio Gibson's football IQ has improved so much this year!
