Normally used to overwhelming his NFC East foes in a different, midnight-green attire, Zach Ertz, in his most productive yardage-based game since 2022, showed in Week 2 that productivity remains well within reach. Challenged to a “who wants it more”-type battle during a corner route, Ertz adjusted to a floated ball, using both a 6-foot-5 frame and pure strength to rip away a potential interception, turning it into a 21-yard catch for himself. The 12-year veteran helped the Washington Commanders — whose seven field goals offset the New York Giants’ three touchdowns — survive for a unique 21-18 win, with Ertz providing four catches (on four targets) and 62 yards on Sept. 15, 2024.
