3 winners (and 4 losers) from Commanders' defeat vs. Steelers in Week 10

Winner No. 2

Jeremy Chinn - Commanders S

Jeremy Chinn has come of age over the last few weeks. The standout safety took time to adjust following his move from the Carolina Panthers in free agency. It's safe to say that the dynamic defensive weapon has hit his stride.

Aside from one frustrating penalty call, it was another accomplished outing for Chinn in all phases. The former second-round selection was around the football consistently, putting his instincts and explosiveness to good use against a physical Pittsburgh Steelers ground game en route to 13 tackles.

Chinn also helped himself to a pass breakup, one interception, and collected a crucial fumble recovery on the goal line after an outstanding play from Quan Martin. The offense couldn't take advantage, but the defensive back is one of few who can look back at his performance with enormous pride.

The Washington Commanders have an easy decision regarding a long-term deal for Chuinn next spring if he keeps this up. He's silenced his doubters after becoming an afterthought in Carolina. Dan Quinn and Joe Whitt Jr.'s scheme is bringing out the best in him. Long may it continue.

Loser No. 3

Olamide Zaccheaus - Commanders WR

This was a fine margins game that came down to a few costly mistakes that cost the Commanders. Unfortunately for Olamide Zaccheaus, he was responsible for some concentration errors during the game at Northwest Stadium.

The signs were there early. Zaccheaus muffed a punt but ended up recovering just in time. He was not so fortunate on the second occasion, which the Steelers collected and made the Commanders pay with a touchdown soon after.

If that wasn't bad enough, the wide receiver dropped what would have been a huge gain after failing to bring in a Jayden Daniels ball on a slant route with nothing but open space in front of him. This was a concerning trend throughout the contest, which resulted in arguably the rookie signal-caller's worst performance of the season.

This isn't a performance Zaccheaus will be remembering with any great fondness. What's important for the veteran pass-catcher is brushing it off quickly with the Commanders on a short week.
