The Washington Commanders faced a tough defeat against the Pittsburgh Steelers, losing 28-27 due to critical mistakes. Wide receiver Olamide Zaccheus muffed two punts, and tight end Zach Ertz fell short on a crucial fourth down. Defensive tackle Johnny Newton's offsides penalty sealed the loss, leaving the locker room silent after a previous victory.

Despite a strong performance from rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who threw for 202 yards, the Commanders couldn't capitalize on opportunities. The Steelers, led by Russell Wilson, managed to overcome their own mistakes, including a goal-line fumble, to secure the win. The Commanders now look to bounce back against the Philadelphia Eagles in a short week.
