WATCH: Van Jefferson gives lead back to Commanders with TD vs Rams
The Washington Commanders have a 10-3 lead over the Los Angeles Rams after Van Jefferson's first touchdown of the season.
In a game against the Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders wide receiver Van Jefferson turned the tables by giving the lead back to his team with a touchdown. Jefferson, who wasn't initially expected to be a key player for the Commanders due to Terry McLaurin's absence, has now emerged as their leading receiver. He scored the first touchdown of his season, extending the Commanders' lead to 10-3.
Earlier in the game, Washington commanded a 3-0 advantage over the Rams. This win marks a significant momentum boost for Washington, following their impressive 27-10 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles just last week. Jefferson's career took an unexpected turn when he was traded from the Rams to the Atlanta Falcons back in 2020, and he has since been bouncing between various teams.
However, his current stint with the Commanders began after McLaurin's injury, when he was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster. This touchdown is Jefferson's first for the Commanders, highlighting his emergence as a pivotal player for the team.
