Overview
- The Rams beat the Washington Commanders 20-13 on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, completing a third straight win and improving to 5-4.
- Myles Garrett returned from arthroscopic knee surgery and recorded three sacks and a forced fumble, with Omar Speights recovering the strip-sack that produced points late in the second quarter.
- Puka Nacua paced the offense with 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown, serving as Matthew Stafford’s primary target throughout the game.
- Washington had late chances to tie the game but failed on the final possession when a catch-and-lateral ended with a Rams recovery, and Jayden Daniels finished with roughly 270 passing yards and one touchdown.
- Garrett’s immediate impact offers a payoff for the high-cost offseason trade that sent Jared Verse and multiple picks to Cleveland and could change the Rams’ defensive outlook as they head to Arizona before a Week 11 bye.
