Commanders on right path to Super Bowl after Chargers game

The Washington Commanders are in the win column again after a big 27-10 rout over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5 at SoFi Stadium.

The victory was Washington's best of the season, giving the team a sign of what could be a new normal for the Commanders.

“We want that to look like that all the time," Quinn said. "And sometimes, like yesterday, I took that play of Quan [Martin], he was the one that set it off yesterday. But there is an attitude and a speed that we want to play with. Doesn't mean we're always going to play it perfectly or play it just right but there's an intensity about how we play and when we're at our best. There's also a joy that goes with it. I think I saw that with Jayden [Daniels] as well. Here he is smiling as he's going through it, battling, but also this is a crew that, they're connected man.

"And so, to see these guys want to fight for one another and get it right, that's a really important piece. So, we'll have a work cut out for us, but you're leaning into the right things about our attitude, our effort, the way we play and when we're that connected, we're a problem and we're going to continue to work hard at that and really protect that.”
