Commanders Edge Saints 20-19 in Thriller

The Washington Commanders narrowly defeated the New Orleans Saints 20-19 in a tightly contested game that came down to a last-second two-point conversion attempt. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, returning to Louisiana, threw two touchdown passes and completed 25 of 31 passes for 226 yards, contributing significantly to the team's 17-0 lead. However, the Saints rallied under rookie Spencer Rattler, who replaced struggling starter Jake Haener and orchestrated a late touchdown drive. Despite this comeback, the Saints fell short as their two-point conversion attempt failed, leaving them with a disappointing 5-9 record. Interim coach Darren Rizzi expressed pride in his team's effort, noting the decision to go for two was supported by the players. The Commanders improved to 9-5, marking their first winning season since 2015.
