"Last season, Frankie Luvu was one of Washington's best defensive players, earning second-team All-Pro honors after amassing eight sacks. He became one of the tone-setters of the locker room, a physical competitor who struck fear into opponents and wasn't afraid to ruffle some feathers. Luvu was off to a quiet start in 2025, with no sacks in his first three outings."
"He was more visible in the first quarter against the Falcons than he'd been all year, and finally made the big play to show for it in the second frame. Luvu got to Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and forced what Washington initially thought was a turnover, but the passer was ruled down. Still, it ended up going down as a six-yard loss for Atlanta."
The Washington Commanders opened poorly, with the secondary and run defense allowing significant gains while the Falcons' offense attacked confidently. The pass rush delivered sporadic impact amid broader defensive struggles. Frankie Luvu emerged as a key playmaker after a quiet 2025 start; he generated pressure and forced what appeared to be a turnover that became a six-yard loss for Atlanta. The Falcons immediately responded with a 43-yard completion to Drake London and a Bijan Robinson 14-yard touchdown. Luvu's intensity energized the unit, but multiple teammates must match that level of play if Washington hopes to mount a comeback.
