Turnovers decide Monday night as Washington falls 25-24 to Chicago on a last-second field goal.

Daniels was superb outside the turnovers, raising his accuracy and threat with his legs, but a red-zone interception and a late mishandled handoff doomed the drive and left the defense chasing a finish.

Washington's ground game failed to impose and the run defense capitulated in crunch time, while Kliff Kingsbury's pistol call near the end drew scrutiny as the team faced a final, decisive moment.

Daniels homecoming at SoFi sparked a 27-10 Washington win over the Chargers. He went 15 of 26 for 231 yards with 1 TD and added 39 rushing yards, guiding a 99-yard closing drive that ended in an eight-yard TD pass to Deebo Samuel on fourth down after Washington erased a 10-0 hole.

Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt rumbled for 111 yards with two scores, Quan Martin forced a pivotal second-quarter fumble, and Daniels showcased the dual-threat play that makes Washington dangerous. The win also marks Washington’s first at SoFi, and the storyline of Daniels driving the offense carries into fantasy projections and upcoming matchups.

The performance reinforced Daniels as the sun around which Washington orbits, with coach Dan Quinn praising his decisions and leadership. Off-field notes about stadium plans by Dan Snyder added context to a day that felt like a turning point for the franchise.

Washington Commanders lose Will Harris to a fractured fibula, paving the way for Darnell Savage to contribute right away. Savage signs a one-year deal, bringing 87 NFL games, 82 starts, 354 tackles and 10 interceptions to a defense hungry for veteran depth and flexibility.

Harris' injury nudges Jeremy Reaves into a bigger role, with Quan Martin potentially stepping in as a starter opposite Reaves. Savage’s slot experience and overall versatility give Washington a safer, more adaptable back end as the team leans into a nickel-friendly, multi-look defense.

Savage’s childhood photo wearing Redskins gear adds a welcome fan-friendly angle to the move, underscoring the club’s focus on stability and era-spanning familiarity in a critical role.
