4 winners (and 3 losers) from the Commanders' win vs. NY Giants in Week 2

Loser No. 2

Commanders OL

The Washington Commanders offensive line had a tough challenge on their hands against the New York Giants. They underachieved in Week 1, but the talent across their front seven couldn't be underestimated. It came as no surprise to see them struggle versus the likes of Dexter Lawrence II, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Washington's protection found life difficult for the most part. Jayden Daniels was sacked five times and it could have been more if not for his exceptional escapability. There were also frustrating discipline issues in the red zone, which made this game a closer affair than the time of possession suggested.

There were substantial changes to the offensive line this offseason. It was always going to take a little time to become a cohesive unit. However, mental errors are something that should be halted immediately to avoid any unnecessary complications moving forward.

The Commanders have enough talent across the line. Becoming a cohesive, consistent unit aware of their assignments pre-snap is imperative with the standard of opposition set to increase in the weeks ahead.

Winner No. 3

Austin Seibert - Commanders K

It's been a whirlwind few days for Austin Seibert. The Commanders' carousel of kickers since Brandon McManus' release resulted in another change following Cade York's woeful afternoon in Week 1. It's one game and the life of a kicker is temperamental, but he could be the problem-solver this team desperately needs.

Seibert was nothing short of sensational. There were plenty of chances to showcase his talent thanks to Washington's lack of red-zone efficiency. He was more than up for the challenge, nailing all seven of his field goal attempts to secure a new franchise record.

After so many misses for the Commanders in their kicking recruitment over the summer, this was a refreshing change of pace. Seibert can take a great deal of heart from this performance, carrying on from his decent production with the New York Jets in the preseason. Keeping it up is equally as important to cement his status with the organization long-term.

The fact Seibert demonstrated nerves of steel to fire over the game-winning field goal - albeit from close range - was incredibly pleasing. Washington has a dependable kicker at long last. Every fan should be thankful for that.
