description

In this historic matchup between the two quarterbacks that were taken first and second overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, there was another rookie who stepped up early to make his impact on the game, Commanders defensive lineman Jer'Zhan Newton. On this first quarter play, Newton blew past the offensive line as they set up for a screen and then swallowed up the opposing quarterback before it could develop, registering the first sack of his NFL career. Newton tallied three tackles, one sack, four total quarterback hits, and one fumble recovery in this one, as Washington beat the Bears, 18-15, on Oct. 27, 2024.
