The biggest idea of note is the fact that rookie Jahan Dotson played all but one snap on offense. He even played more than veterans Curtis Samuel and Terry McLaurin, who sat out of eight snaps apiece.
If anything points to the trust the team has in Dotson, this is something that is powerful than the glowing words of endearment he has had come his way since the team drafted him in April.
Dotson and the Commanders host the Eagles Sunday at 1 p.m. at FedEx Field.
