Four takeaways from the Commanders’ 23-10 win over the Texans

Washington moved the chains for the first time today on its third possession via Taylor Heinicke’s 19-yard completion to Terry McLaurin.

McLaurin made a third-down catch three plays later, but the drive stalled after Heinicke’s third-down incompletion just past midfield. Heinicke is 2-for-7 to start the game, and the Texans have done a solid job against Washington’s running game, limiting four different ballcarriers, including McLaurin and fellow wideout Jahan Dotson, to a combined 12 yards on six attempts. (Commanders 7, Texans 0, 4:54 left in the first quarter)
