Big Dill roll call from Landover: Washington cooked up a 41-24 W over Las Vegas, and they set the tone from jump. Deebo ripped the opening kick 69 yards, Marcus Mariota walked in from two, and the Commanders never looked rattled. Worth a quick headline check: Mariota got the nod with rookie Jayden Daniels sidelined, and RB Austin Ekeler is out for the year — big reshuffle, bigger response. (espn.com)

Second quarter turned spicy. The Raiders struck with the first of three from Tre Tucker, but Washington answered loud: Jeremy McNichols blasted a 60-yard house call, then Matt Gay drilled a 56-yarder before the half. Washington’s ground game kept humming to 201 rushing yards on the day, while Mariota stayed clean and efficient: 15/21, 207 yards, 1 TD; 6 carries, 40 yards, 1 TD. Not bad for a backfield and QB room patched together on the fly — and not bad for a guy some fantasy folks were told to sit this week. (sbnation.com)

After the break, the vibes flipped from solid to sizzling. Rookie return man Jaylin Lane detonated a 90-yard punt-return TD, then Mariota uncorked a moon ball to Terry McLaurin for 56 down to the doorstep, setting up Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s one-yard plunge. The defense backed it with heat — sacks from Bobby Wagner, Von Miller, Dorance Armstrong and friends — and the cushion swelled to 34-10.

Geno kept swinging, and Tucker went full torch mode: 8 catches, 145 yards, 3 TDs as Geno Smith posted 289 yards and 3 scores. But every Raiders surge met a Washington answer, and the closer was pure theater — Mariota to Luke McCaffrey for a 42-yard dagger to ice it. Scoreboard reads 41-24, the over cashes with room to dance, and Washington pockets a statement win.

Big Dill of the Game: Jaylin Lane. One touch, one turning point. That 90-yard sprint cracked the game wide open and lit the fuse for Washington’s runaway third quarter. I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, and this has been Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill.
