It took a little more than a full month but the Washington Commanders finally got cornerback Marshon Lattimore on the field in their 20-19 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore will make his debut with the team in Week 15 against the Saints, his former team

The Washington Commanders overcame significant adversity to secure a dramatic success over the Philadelphia Eagles. However, a fresh injury concern around stud cornerback Marshon Lattimore tainted the triumph.

Four-time Pro Bowl CB Marshon Lattimore gave his verdict on his debut for the Washington Commanders against old team the New Orleans Saints.

After missing nearly two months because of hamstring injury, the veteran cornerback will start against the Saints on Sunday.

"I just tried to stay calm and get the job done. I did what they needed me to do," Lattimore said following his Washington debut.

Marshon Lattimore made his Washington Commanders' debut Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. It was his first game since the Saints traded him in early November.

Rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. made his first NFL start in easy mode at home against the Giants. The difficulty level rachets up at Washington, and the Commanders have a legitimate pass rush led by Dante Fowler Jr. Penix can rely on Bijan Robinson again, but may need to make some harder throws to get the job done this time.

While it’s nice to have a competitive football team in our nation’s capital again, even “feel-good” teams like the Commanders have their share of naughty moments.

The Commanders have won three in a row, including holding on at New Orleans by stopping the Saints on a 2-point conversion attempt at the end of the fourth quarter. They're in the postseason if they beat Atlanta on Sunday night or if Tampa Bay loses to Carolina earlier in the day.
