Washington’s offense came into its own on Sunday, and the second-year running back finished with two touchdowns.
DENVER — The Washington Commanders trailed by 18 points in the second quarter against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, but the message on the sideline was simple.
But after falling into a hole, the Commanders quickly climbed out and secured a 35-33 win, thanks to defensive takeaways, the poise of their young quarterback and a career performance from running back Brian Robinson Jr. Robinson ran the ball 18 times Sunday for 87 yards and two touchdowns, the first of which put the Commanders ahead, 28-24. Robinson also had 42 receiving yards on two catches, showing his versatility and the growth of Washington’s screen game under Bieniemy.
McLaurin ran a post route from the right side, and Howell threw a dart to his left shoulder, just out of the reach of the two defenders crowding him.Robinson delivered many more in the second half Sunday, including a 27-yard catch that helped set up his first touchdown in the fourth quarter and a 21-yard catch to help set up his second touchdown six minutes later.
And Robinson wasn’t the only back to find success Sunday. Antonio Gibson, who has lobbied for years to be used more in the passing game, got his wish, turning a short screen pass into a 36-yard gain in the fourth quarter.
