Washington Commanders Defense is performing best against the Arizona Cardinals so far

Washington Commanders Defense is performing best against the Arizona Cardinals so far

Vaseline 4 days ago

The Washington Commanders allowed just 14 points while scoring 42 in their win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4 at State Farm Stadium.

The Cardinals came into the game as a top-five offense and that would be a big challenge for the Commanders, who have already given up 30 or more points twice this season. Dorance Armstrong, Bobby Wagner and Co. however, delivered their best performance of the season.

Wagner, the unit’s veteran leader, praised Armstrong after his 1.5-sack performance.

“It’s always good,” Wagner said of Armstrong’s performance. “Every game I feel like everyone is growing. That’s what you want to do, so when you have guys that just stand out and continue to grow, you just want to do that. Now we want the next person to do it, and the next person, and then we’ll do it all together.”

The energy around the defense not only vibrates with Wagner, but everyone in the unit seems to be on the same page.

“I think I was just ready to play,” Armstrong said after the game. “We raise each other, boys play left and right. It’s contagious.”

The defense didn’t get off to as good of a start as they wanted, but now there seems to be a rhythm the players are getting into, and that should make them more dangerous as the season progresses.

The Commanders will be back in action next weekend against the Cleveland Browns at home.
