Phidarian Mathis, Washington's rookie DT, will miss the rest of the season after tearing his meniscus Sunday.
, Rivera said he noticed the benefits of the team’s versatility across the board, be it the defensive line and secondary, where the distinction between a safety and cornerback is often blurred, the tight ends who have yet to fully show their potential or the receiving corps.The Commanders played to their varied skill set, and though the game was littered with mistakes and three turnovers, it was the closest look yet at what Washington’s offense could be with coordinator Scott Turner.
Wentz targeted 10 pass catchers Sunday — seven caught passes — and Washington followed a game plan that included many new plays and created confusion for the Jaguars’ defense. On the Commanders’ first third-down attempt of the game, they aligned four players — Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, J.D. McKissic and Jahan Dotson — in a bunch formation on the left side, and Thomas was alone on the right.
Wentz threw interceptions on consecutive plays to start the fourth quarter, the second of which the Jaguars turned into a score that expanded their lead to 22-14. Rivera added: “It’s one of those things you tell him: ‘Hey, if you’re going to hang on the guy, throw the ball to him. If not, you’ve got to go a little bit quicker through your progression.’ ”, Wentz’s average time to throw was 3.14 seconds, the second longest in the league through Sunday’s games.
