Commanders Rally Behind Jayden Daniels to Beat Chargers

Jayden Daniels returned from a two-game absence to lead the Washington Commanders to a 27-10 road win over the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, completing 15 of 26 passes for 231 yards and rushing for 39. Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns as Washington rallied from a 10-point deficit with 27 unanswered points. The comeback was sparked by a Quentin Johnston fumble recovered by Marshon Lattimore, a negated Chargers punt-return TD after a roughing-the-kicker penalty, and a Matt Gay field goal that tied the game late in the second quarter. Washington’s defense had five sacks and two takeaways, including an interception by Mike Sainristil that stopped a late red-zone threat. The Chargers committed three turnovers in Washington territory and 10 penalties for 85 yards while Justin Herbert went 22-of-29 for 166 yards with a touchdown and an interception; both teams are now 3-2.
