Really interesting to see McDonald attempting what I can only call Mahomes-like passes - certainly nowhere near as successful, but Mahomes has done so many unorthodox things with the ball, and done so well with them, it was only a matter of time before it started filtering into the game at large.

@@conorthefurey That's QB for you. I love A.J. but Tamu is the best QB in the league. Huntley and A.J. should be as former pros but they aren't. If I remember right A.J lost both games for us... While it's a team sport he has had some costly picks. Overall, the better the QBs are the better the league will be and the more even or fair it will be for less talented teams. Seattle QB is not the best in the league but he certainly has better wide out options than D.C. lol struggling doesn't mean anything didn't Seattle beat Houston? If Seattle plays D.C sometime in the last few weeks I think they can beat them. Same with ST Louis in a rematch. Just have to have better QB play. I mean I watched Cole McDonald in college and he sucked. He also got lucky a few times tonight. An NFL defense would pick him apart. D.C. is very beatable but has gotten the most production from the QB spot and has won the turnover battle. Turnovers lose games so yes I think there are a few teams on D.C. level but just my opinion.

I saw the whole game. Houston made too many mistakes and penalties. However, I am sure they will win the rest of there games. I am also sure these 2 teams will meet again in the championship game. Hopefully with a different result.

Good job DC let’s get the next one so exciting on offense commanders take notes lol.

I am happy to see my man Cole MacDonald still has something to offer. He at least deserves to be a starter in this league. No shots at Silvers tho, he is dang good too. Maybe this can Give Cole another shot in the NFL as a Hill from the saints kind of player. Feel free to tell me I am wrong in the replies, Just always loved watching Cole at Hawaii and hoped he could play in the NFL. Afterall, I bet the Orlando team wish they had gotten Cole instead of Lynch. Just saying lol
