Commanders' young talent finally gives fans a glimpse of the future
"Late in the Washington Commanders' victory over the New York Giants, offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury surprised the opposition with a deep shot to little-used tight end Ben Sinnott. The play worked to perfection, gaining 36 yards. It was Sinnott's only target of the game and just his fifth catch of the season. After making the grab, the second-year tight end wrapped both arms around the ball as he rumbled for a few extra yards. He made sure he would not fumble."
"Rookie Jaylin Lane got it started with an excellent punt return on which he ran straight downhill for 20 yards. No running backwards or trying to juke defenders. He gave the Commanders' offense the ball inside enemy territory. Fellow rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt then took over. On the second play of the drive, he burst up the middle for 11 yards. On the play, two 2024 draft picks - Sinnott and Brandon Coleman - were on the field blocking for him."
Late in the game, Kliff Kingsbury dialed up a deep pass to Ben Sinnott that gained 36 yards and prevented a potential turnover. The Commanders then suffered a fumble on the next play by veteran Jeremy McNichols, one of several late mistakes by experienced players. Rookies provided the decisive momentum, contributing across the offense on the first touchdown drive. Jaylin Lane's 20-yard punt return set up favorable field position. Jacory Croskey-Merritt produced multiple runs including an 11-yard burst and a rushing touchdown with effective blocking from Sinnott, Brandon Coleman, and the offensive line.
