The Washington Commanders beat the Cincinnati Bengals to close out the preseason undefeated. With roster cuts coming in just a few days, who played well enough to earn a spot on the team? Which players play their last game in Burgundy and Gold? Nathan answers these and then closes with his final thoughts on this preseason.

In a surprise announcement, Ron Rivera announced that backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett would get the start vs the Bengals and play about a quarter and a half. The interior of the offensive line that includes Nick Gates, Saadhiq Charles and Sam Cosmi will also play while the rest of the 1st team offense and defense will not play. The Commanders also announced the Capital Crossover in which many Nationals will be honored at halftime of the game against the Chicago Bears.

We had plenty to talk about concerning everything that happened during this exciting, high-energy preseason game.  Who were some of the players that stood out?  What did you think of the Josh Harris interview?  What about the reaction of the team after Joey Slye’s 49 yard field goal split the uprights with 9 second left in the game?

We also talk about the injuries during the game and what we think will be the long term effect of Terry McLaurin’s injury.  We have our Risers and Fallers and our Go-Go’s and No’Go’s.

We also break down each play of the 2 minute drive just before the half that resulted in an 11 yard touchdown pass from Sam Howell to Dyami Brown.

Former Ravens Tight End Daniel Wilcox and Khari Thompson joined the show to talk about not only the game on ESPN Monday night but also why the culture in Baltimore has everyone believing the Ravens are a model franchise.

We talked about the silliness of the 24 game preseason streak and also gave our predictions on who wins.
