The Washington Commanders have a lot of primetime games this season, including one in the preseason! Tonight’s Monday Night Football game features Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals coming to Northwest Stadium to face Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. This will be the first game the two former LSU QBs have played against each other in the NFL, but they are expected to only see a few series before letting the backups take over. Washington is expected to play their starters for two series,
and that will be the only live reps they get before Week 1’s home game against the New York Giants. Twelve players were ruled out by Dan Quinn earlier in the week, but Bill’s playing tonight!
