The Commanders' wide receiver Jahan Dotson had a breakout performance in Week 8, with 8 receptions, 108 receiving yards, and 1 touchdown. Despite quarterback Sam Howell throwing the ball 52 times, Dotson still managed to improve his target share to 19.2%. Terry McLaurin led the team in targets with 12 and scored his second touchdown of the season. The Washington team's weak secondary may lead to more high-scoring games in the future, but their upcoming game against the Patriots is not expected to be a shootout. In Week 10, they will face the Seattle Seahawks.
