In a nail-biting finish, the Washington Commanders edged the New Orleans Saints 20-19, thanks to Jayden Daniels' two touchdown passes to Terry McLaurin. Daniels, who returned to Louisiana after winning the Heisman Trophy, completed 25 of 31 passes for 226 yards and added 66 rushing yards.

Despite a strong performance from Saints' Spencer Rattler, who threw for a touchdown and led a late rally, New Orleans fell short after failing a crucial 2-point conversion attempt.
