Chargers vs. Commanders preview

The Washington Commanders travel to Los Angeles for a crucial Week 5 matchup against the Chargers, aiming to rebound after a tough NFC loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Jayden Daniels returns to the starting lineup after missing two games due to injury, bringing stability to the offense.

However, the Commanders will be without key receivers Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown, placing added responsibility on the remaining wideouts, running backs, and Daniels to step up.

The Chargers' offense, led by quarterback Justin Herbert, presents a formidable challenge, while the Commanders' defense looks to contain the high-powered, balanced attack. This game is pivotal for both clubs as they seek to gain more momentum as we enter the second quarter of the NFL season.
