The New Orleans Saints fell just short in a thrilling matchup against the Washington Commanders, losing 20-19 despite a valiant effort from rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler. Rattler's late touchdown pass to Foster Moreau gave the Saints hope, but their two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful.

On the other side, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns, leading his team to victory. Despite being sacked eight times, Daniels managed to connect with wide receiver Terry McLaurin for crucial scores, helping Washington secure their first winning season since 2016.
