The Washington Commanders completed the preseason on Saturday with a 17-15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Washington sat most of its starters for Saturday’s finale, and rookie quarterback Sam Howell started and played the entire game. Howell played well, completing 24 of 35 passes for 280 yards and rushed for 62 yards.
Outside of Howell, other players battling for roster spots, such as wide receivers Dax Milne and Alex Erickson, had strong performances in their bids to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.
The Commanders finished the preseason with a record of 0-3 and now look ahead to Week 1 of the regular season when the Jacksonville Jaguars come to FedEx Field.
Here are some of the top images from Washington’s preseason finale against Baltimore.
