4. Execution versus lack of execution.

There was one major difference between the Commanders and Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon: One team knew how to finish drives, while the other struggled.

Tampa Bay had a habit of ending drives with more points on the board. They scored three of seven points on their first five drives before being forced to punt, which happened in the third quarter. That run ended in a bump, however, as they scored two more touchdowns to tie the game.

Washington, meanwhile, sputtered from the start, with their first play resulting in a fumble. There was some positive movement after that, but two of their scoring chances were ruined by Cade York misses.

The lack of execution became more troubling as the game wore on and Tampa Bay continued to score points, having two punts in the second half when they combined for 27 yards.

There were certainly signs of growth on Sunday, but the attack’s inconsistent performances are also a sign that it’s not finished yet.
