Running Backs Propel Commanders to Win Over Giants

The Washington Commanders brought home their first win of the Dan Quinn era with a 21-18 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.

Washington, as a whole, is excited about the win. Following the game, multiple Commanders players reacted to the victory.

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels was asked about his two running backs Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler.

"Y'all seen it today. BRob did his thing.,” Daniels said. “Ekeler did his thing. Having those two in the backfield with me... we got two guys who can take a two-yard run and take it 60"

Daniels also admitted that he and former LSU Teammate Malik Nabers of the New York Giants swapped jerseys following the game.

Robinson was asked about the win following the game.

"It's hard to win in this league, as you can see today,” Robinson said. “We didn't put ourselves in the best position to win, but we still got the win."

Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu led the team with 11 tackles on Sunday. He was asked about how it felt to get that first win of the season.
